FUJI Q Highland
+ KAWAGUCHI LAKE, JAPAN

Have you ever needed a wake up call? are you deprived and lonely and suffering
from solitude in a foreign land? can’t understand why girls on tv in japan for
some reason start to show boobies after 1:00am(Bionic Girl, anyone?)?
It doesn’t matter! Go to FUJI Q Highland!

This place rocks.

Score a bus from Shinjuku station, the “Fuji goko” line for 1,700 yen one way(850 yen for kids). Pick up at Shinjuku’s West gate on the first floor of the second building of Yasudaseimei. The ride takes about an hour and a half, don’t forget your DS to kill time.

1)

It’s not as expensive as Disney. You can snag a full day mini trip, [bus +
admission] for about 7000 yen(will post travel details within a few days of this post).

2)

eejanaika!
This is my ideal version of a “refreshment”. Have you ever had stress? This will make you realize that not much of any of the small crap that lingers in your mind on a daily basis really ever mattered; because when this ride has you upside down, hanging, BACKWARDS… having your life on the line and dangling in mid air usually
a) clears your sinuses
b) gives you a “bit” of perspective back into reality

3)

Go to the Gundam 3d show. Why? Because it was closed when I went so I need
someone to drop knowledge of what i missed. Plus the Gundam store in the park
sells some pretty bad-ass old school Gundams that are decently priced. some
range from 800yen to 2100yen. if you compare that to how back in Chinatown in
NYC where I used to reside sells them, then it’s a steal almost.

4)

The hot dog lady.
Yeah I said it, hot dog lady.
She’s just superkind. We pre-cooked my lunch that day (because i’m a celiac,
and everything in japan has ajinomoto in it), but my friend forgot to add salt
to the lunchbox. This lady was kind enough to let us use her ingredients. None
of this makes sense, but i’m just mentioning how kind some people can be.

5)

They have three other huge attractions there I think. We didn’t test out the
fujiyama, because the rain started to peg down on us after a while.

6)

There were a good amount of Hong Kongians there. If your Hong
Kongian-American like me, seeing your own people’s randomly in tokyo is a nice
surprise.

7)

My girlfriend said there’s a haunted mansion here. It’s an actual abandoned
hospital that they’ve decided to maintain with all the original hospital equipment and
facilities. So it’s like resident evil, the TOUR. Well I didnt get a chance to
wander into it, but she told me that she REFUSES to ever go because all her
friends and everyone in japan says the place is actually haunted with some
actual, authentic, japanese ghosts. Well, go visit and someone let us know if
an oni follows you back home.
