Beyond the screams, the ultimate "Jet View" unfolds
His love of roller coasters led him to conquer every coaster in Japan! He has also ridden around 800 different types in 20 countries around the world. The floating sensation of falling from a great height and the exhilaration of speeding along are irresistible, no matter how many times he rides them.
However, while traveling around the world, I also noticed the appeal of the spectacular views from roller coasters - "Jet Views." For example, the majestic Mount Fuji seen from FUJIYAMA at Fuji-Q Highland is a "Jet View" unique to Japan. Even in Tokyo, there are different "Jet Views" in each city, such as the city center, downtown, and suburbs.
Thunder Dolphin (Tokyo Dome City Attractions)
An amusement park surrounded by skyscrapers in the city center. Thunder Dolphin is a unique roller coaster that runs above the buildings and passes through buildings and Ferris wheels like a dolphin jumping through a hoop. We recommend riding it at night, when you can enjoy the beautiful night view of the illuminated Tokyo Dome and skyscrapers.

Roller Coaster (Asakusa Hanayashiki)
Hanayashiki is a historic amusement park affectionately known as Hanayashiki. The oldest surviving roller coaster in Japan is small, but it's a thrilling spectacle as it skims the walls of buildings and crashes into private homes. While riding, you can enjoy views of Sensoji Temple and Tokyo Skytree®, creating an interesting contrast between the old-fashioned scenery and modern architecture.

Bandit (Yomiuri Land)
This amusement park is located on the heights of the Tama Hills and is surrounded by abundant nature. Ride the Bandit as it speeds through the forest within the park, offering views of the lush greenery of Tama and the skyscrapers of Shinjuku in the distance. You can enjoy different "jet views" depending on the season, such as the cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring and the glittering illuminations in winter.
