Legoland Japan (レゴランド・ジャパン, Regorando Japan) is a theme park in Nagoya, Japan. It opened on April 1, 2017.[1] It is the first Legoland theme park in Japan, the second in Asia after Legoland Malaysia Resort, and the eighth worldwide.[2] The park is projected to attract over two million visitors annually.[3]

History

On June 30, 2014, Merlin Entertainments announced plans to open a Legoland Resort in Nagoya.[4] Construction officially began on April 15, 2015.[5] On March 27, 2017, a commemorative Legoland-themed train started running on the Nagoya Rinkai Rapid Transit Aonami Line to celebrate the opening of the park.[6] Legoland Japan officially opened on April 1, 2017.[1] The entrance admission is ¥6,900 for adults and ¥5,300 for kids aged 3-12. Many news sources commented on the ticket prices, which are comparable to Tokyo Disneyland's ticket prices despite the Legoland park being considerably smaller.[7] Merlin Entertainments plans to build a Legoland Hotel and a Sea Life aquarium next to the park in 2018 to help turn the area into a resort, which is expected to cost 10 billion yen.[7]

The theme park includes several rides as well as a miniature town that includes landmarks such as Tokyo Station, Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto and Nagoya Castle.[8]

Access

The park is close to Kinjō-futō Station on the Nagoya Rinkai Rapid Transit Aonami Line.
