Fodor's Review:

With two artificial beaches, a bird sanctuary, and the Tokyo Sea Life Park aquarium spread over a stretch of landfill between the Arakawa and the Kyu-Edogawa rivers, Kasai Seaside Park is one of the major landmarks in the vast effort to transform Tokyo Bay into Fun City. The Diamonds and Flowers Ferris Wheel (Daia to Hana no Dai-kanransha), the tallest Ferris wheel in Japan, takes passengers on a 17-minute ride to the apex, 384 feet above the ground, for a spectacular view of the city. One rotation takes 70 minutes. On a clear day you can see all the way to Mt. Fuji; at night, if you're lucky, you reach the top just in time for a bird's-eye view of the fireworks over the Magic Kingdom, across the river. To get here, take the JR Keiyo Line local train from Tokyo Station to Kasai Rinkai Koen Station; the park is a five-minute walk from the south exit.

  • Cost: Free, Ferris wheel ¥700
  • Open: Ferris wheel Sept.-July, Tues.-Fri. 10-8, weekends 10-9; Aug., weekdays 10-8, weekends 10-9
