Popular Retro Amusement Park, "Asakusa Hanayashiki" in Taito Ward, Tokyo Video Introduction
This video, titled "Asakusa Hanayashiki – Local Information Video Site|Machi Log" (浅草花やしき - 地域情報動画サイト 街ログ), was uploaded by "machilogmovie."
The amusement park "Asakusa Hanayashiki" in Asakusa, Taito, introduced in the video, is the oldest amusement park in Japan.

Asakusa Hanayashiki is a very popular amusement park for both children and adults, where you can enjoy sightseeing and attractions in the Asakusa area.
In this video, Yuka Hasegawa of the Hanayashiki Actors shows us the charm of Asakusa Hanayashiki.
The History of Asakusa Hanayashiki
Asakusa Hanayashiki opened more than 170 years ago in 1853.
Surprisingly, this is around the same time as when the Black Ships (1843) came to Japan in the Edo period (1603 to 1868).
At first it was a botanical garden, but it gradually expanded in scale and added a zoo, the Asakusa Flower Theater, and other attractions, making it a very popular amusement park that attracted many visitors and was very crowded at its peak.
During the Pacific War, the park was forced to temporarily close its doors, sending all of the animals in the park to Sendai.
In 1947, it reopened as an amusement park.
After the reopening, the park reopened with its current style of ride attractions, including Japan's oldest roller coaster, which can be seen at 0:59 in the video, and Bee Tower, the symbolic tower of Asakusa Hanayashiki, which can be seen at 0:19 in the video.
For the longest time, the park did not charge an admission fee, but with the 1985 revision of the Entertainment Establishments Law, they began charging an admission fee.
Rides at Asakusa Hanayashiki
The jet coaster, said to be Japan's oldest roller coaster, is one of Asakusa Hanayashiki's signature thrill rides.
The other rides other than the roller coaster used to be more of a heartwarming experience, but today Asakusa Hanayashiki has become an amusement park with a full range of thrilling rides that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike.
Below are the list of rides.
