BESTI went on a sunny day and rode the roller coaster while watching Mt. Fuji.
The world's most intense theme park,
Fuji-Q Highland Scream Machine
The most intense theme park in Japan, acknowledged by everyone! Fuji-Q Highland is called the 'Mecca of Scream Machines' and is a theme park loved by many. You can experience various themes such as the thrilling roller coaster listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, Thomas Land, Naruto Leaf Village, and Gaspard & Lisa Town.
To ride the scream machine,
GO TO FUJI-Q HIGHLAND!
Fuji-Q Highland is a must-visit attraction for thrill seekers. There are four incredible roller coasters here, all called scream machines! In particular, the King of Coasters, the representative roller coaster of the Highland, boasting a top speed of 130 kilometers per hour and a maximum height of 79 meters, is a must-ride.
And you must also ride the Dododonpa, which is equipped with an air launch booster used to launch fighter jets from aircraft carriers. Dododonpa, which runs at a top speed of 172 kilometers per hour in just 8 seconds, provides a thrilling gravity-defying ride. In addition, you must ride all four of Fuji-Q Highland's representative attractions, including Eejanaika and Takabisha.
How to get from Tokyo to Fuji-Q Highland
Fuji-Q Highland is a bit far from downtown Tokyo, so you need to know how to get there. I will recommend the easiest and most popular way to get there.
1. By train (Shinjuku Station - Fuji-Q Highland Station):
If you want to travel by train, the best way is to take the Fuji Kaiyu train that departs from Shinjuku Station and goes directly. You can travel in one go without changing trains.
Duration: 1 hour 50 minutes
Fare: 4,130 yen
2. Go by bus:
Here's how to catch the bus to Fuji-Q Highland from Shinjuku Bus Terminal. It departs from Bus Stop B5.
Duration: 2 hours
Fare: 2,000 yen
Of course, the direct train route is faster, but the bus is cheaper. You can choose whichever method is more convenient for you.
Fuji-Q Highland's route is important.
Since Fuji-Q Highland is a place you absolutely must go to ride the four major scream machines, it is best to move along the route above.
1. Do-Dodonpa:
It is the fastest roller coaster in Japan and has tremendous acceleration. It reaches a speed of 180 km/h in just 1.56 seconds.
2. Eejanaika:
The world's highest total number of rotations! This ride, known as the heresy of the roller coaster world, spins in both forward and reverse directions!
3. Takabisha:
It's a straight up and down drop. It's a deep curve turn. It's a total scream as it comes down at a whopping 121 degree angle.
4. Fujiyama:
This attraction opened in 1996 and is a roller coaster that gives the feeling of plummeting from a 20-story building.
As you can see from the route, it's better to move like this. This order is popular.
You can check the crowd level in advance.
Fuji-Q Highland is such a popular theme park that you can check the crowding rate in advance. If you click on this link, it will show you the expected crowding scenario for each day. Since you absolutely must ride all four scream machines, I recommend going on a day that is as least crowded as possible.
Small Fuji-Q Highland Tips
1. What if you don't want to wait at all?
It is recommended to purchase Q-PASS. To be honest, you can ride all four screaming machines without Q-PASS, but there is a certain amount of waiting. Reserve Q-PASS
2. I recommend open runs if possible.
The wait time definitely gets longer after 10 o'clock. I recommend getting on a lot of trains before then.
3. Want to know the exact waiting time?
I recommend downloading the Fuji-Q Highland waiting time APP.
4. Remember the 2+2 rule!
It is important to ride the first two attractions as quickly as possible. Take your time riding the remaining two attractions in the afternoon!
5. What if I plan to take the bus?
It is better to make a reservation first on the bus reservation site. How to reserve a bus

Why you should buy tickets from WAUG
WAUG is the official partner of Fuji-Q Highland and offers tickets at the lowest prices. Tickets available at WAUG include all-day and afternoon passes. I recommend the all-day pass (the morning open run is a must).
However, if you want to experience the theme park for its true essence rather than ride the four major screaming machines, you can purchase an afternoon ticket. Purchase an afternoon ticket
There is also an Early Park-in (Fuji-Q admission ticket set product) that allows you to enter 15-30 minutes before opening time. How about entering a little earlier than others and enjoying popular attractions that normally require 2-3 hours of waiting without waiting? Go to purchase Early Park-in
