At a Glance
Hanayashiki is a compact amusement park in Asakusa, Taitō ward, Tokyo, on the west side of Sensō-ji. It opened in 1853 and is regarded as the oldest amusement park in Japan. It began as a botanical garden of peonies and chrysanthemums created by Morita Rokusaburō, and its name means Flowery Mansion.
Animals and sideshows were added from around 1872, and in the Taishō and early Shōwa eras the park was known as one of Japan's leading zoos. After closing during the war years, it was rebuilt as an amusement park in 1947. Its roller coaster, which began running in 1953, is the oldest surviving roller coaster in Japan. Other attractions include a merry-go-round, a haunted house and the Panda Car, one of the park's unofficial mascots.
