An Amusement Park with a History Since the Edo Period

“Asakusa Hanayashiki” is Japan’s oldest amusement park, established in 1853 (the year Commodore Perry arrived in Japan). It was originally a botanical garden featuring peonies and chrysanthemums, later evolved into a zoo, and finally became an amusement park with rides. Boasting over 170 years of history, it continues to be loved by many visitors. The park is filled with a nostalgic retro atmosphere, and its old-fashioned signs and buildings are popular photo spots.
