Tokyo Dome City

Fodor's Review:

The Korakuen stop on the Marunouchi subway line, about 10 minutes from Tokyo Station, lets you out in front of the Tokyo Dome, Japan's first air-supported indoor stadium, built in 1988 and home to the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants baseball team. Across from the stadium is Tokyo Dome City, a combination of family amusement park, shopping mall, restaurants, and a natural spring spa. The Amusement Park (Mon.-Sat. 10-8:30; Sat and holidays, 9-8:30. Four rollercoaster rides are between ¥600-¥800) has three stomach-churning roller coasters, a haunted house, and a merry-go-round. The La Qua Shopping Center (¥2,565; ¥315 more on holidays; and ¥1,890 surcharge midnight-6 AM; ¥525 surcharge for Healing Room. Daily 11 AM-9 AM) holds 70 shops and restaurants. Shops are open daily from 11-9, and restaurants are open 11-11. La Qua Spa is a natural hot spring for adults, more like an amusement park in itself. There are four floors of pampering and hot springs with high concentrations of sodium-chloride, which is believed to increase blood circulation.
