Nagashima Resort

Nagashima Spaland: A Coaster Enthusiast’s Dream

For thrill-seekers, Nagashima Spaland is often ranked alongside Fuji-Q Highland for its sheer number of high-quality roller coasters. The park’s skyline is dominated by record-breaking steel structures:

• Steel Dragon 2000: A legendary giga-coaster that still holds the world record for the longest track length at 2,479 meters.
• Hakugei (White Whale): A spectacular hybrid coaster (wood and steel) known for its intense airtime and smooth, high-speed inversions.
• Acrobat: A flying coaster that lets you experience the ride in a face-down prone position, mimicking the glide of a manta ray.

Relaxation and Beauty: Nabana no Sato & Yuami no Shima

Nagashima Resort offers more than just adrenaline; it provides some of Japan’s most serene experiences:

• Nabana no Sato: This botanical garden is world-famous for its winter illuminations, which are among the largest and most intricate in the world, featuring the iconic "Tunnel of Lights."
• Yuami no Shima: One of the country’s largest outdoor natural hot spring complexes, featuring multiple baths set in a beautifully landscaped forest environment.
• Joyful Waterpark: One of the world’s largest water parks, open during the summer months with an incredible array of slides and wave pools.

Travel Tips for 2025

The resort is easily accessible via direct bus from Nagoya Station or Chubu Centrair International Airport. To make the most of the facilities, consider staying at one of the on-site hotels, such as Hotel Hanamizuki, which offers convenient access to the amusement park, the hot springs, and the flower gardens.
