Nasu Highland Park
📍 Tochigi, Nasu
A forest amusement park near the foot of Mt. Nasu with ten roller coasters and dozens of rides among the trees — from a wooden-style woodie to a spinning 'Camelback' — plus zip lines and an adventure forest.
Set among the trees below Mt. Nasu, Nasu Highland Park is the Kanto countryside’s big, cheerful amusement park — a place where roller-coaster screams ricochet off the forest and families spend the whole day chasing rides.
Why It’s Interesting
It packs in roughly ten roller coasters, from family-friendly loops to spinning, plunging thrill machines, alongside dozens of other rides and a zip-line adventure forest. The wooded, highland setting sets it apart from city parks — you queue under real trees with mountain air and, on clear days, views toward the volcano. It’s unpretentious, energetic fun, and the anchor of a Nasu trip for anyone traveling with kids (or a squirrel who loves to scream “YEAH!”).
Best Time to Visit
Open most of the year; spring through autumn is most comfortable, and some attractions pause in deep winter — check the seasonal calendar.
Getting There
Seasonal direct buses run from Kuroiso and Nasushiobara stations, or drive and use the large parking lot.

Field report
Nasu Highland Park scatters ten roller coasters through an actual forest, so between screams you get trees — a woodie that rattles like honest furniture, a spinning 'Camelback' that plays dice with your sense of direction, and zip lines threading the woods.
Coaster restraints are built for humans, so I rode my usual way: officially, in the staff's care, in a supervised pouch on the family coaster (Nasu staff are good sports and I have credentials). Verdict: the forest setting changes everything — drops feel deeper when trees rush up at you.
Weekdays are gloriously empty; you can re-ride without dismounting your queue position. The fried-potato stand near the woodie runs the best snack-to-scream logistics in the park. Screams: many. Regrets: none. Trees: the real headliners, as usual.
