I went to the amusement park called “Joyful Park” located on the Hiruzen Plateau, in Okayama prefecture. It is located on the right side of Hiruzen Kogen Center, and you can get there by bus called “Maniwa-Kun” from Chugoku Katsuyama train station.

Joyful Park is a local amusement park surrounded by nature and located in the highlands. It opens from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and they have irregular holidays on every Tuesday and Wednesday, so check out the Joyful Park website before going there to see when the park is closed, and its admission fee and events.

There are many amusement attractions here, including a merry-go-round and roller coaster for everyone to enjoy.

It would be nice to have a break enjoying the beautiful views of Joyful Park and Hiruzen Plateau from the Ferris wheel.

They are holding an event called “Real Treasure Hunt” at this moment. A fun competitive event, where working together is the key to finding the treasure. Let’s go out and find that treasure!

And there are a lot of good old, Japanese retro game machines here. It feels as if you went back in time in old Japan, and you can get absorbed playing them.

For those who want to play pretty much everything/what is has to offer, I recommend the One-Day Pass called “Free Pass”, which gives you free reign of all the rides and amusement attractions.

Let’s have an exciting holiday in the amusement park located in the nature of Japan.
