On Saturday I went to the famous amusement park, Fujikyu Highland. It's known for having the tallest roller coaster (though that might have been bested recently), the fastest roller coaster (though again, might have been beat by an American attraction), and for having a world-famous haunted house. It's very close by to Tsuru, only about a 20 minute train ride and you get dropped off right in front.
My friends I went with (from left to right): Saeko-chan, Azusa-chan, and Tei-chan
A beautiful picture of Mt. Fuji...it's really spectacular when you're at the peak of a roller coaster or Ferris wheel :)
It wasn't very big, maybe about the size of the boardwalk, though more spread out. They had some fun rides, but the most fun I had was on the Fujiyama roller coaster (not shown here, it's the one that was a Guinness record holder when it was made, at 79 meters high). Not only was it the longest roller coaster ride I've ever been on, but it was the most fun roller coaster - no - amusement park ride that I've ever been on in my entire life. I definitely have to go again before I leave.
Yes, it's known for their 3 big roller coasters: Fujiyama, Dodonpa, and Eejanaiga. This bag of "Garric chips" tries to capitalize on that =) I like how even if I show this picture to the Japanese, and even if I point out the word "Garric", they still don't get what's wrong with it.
They also sold grape-flavored Kit-Kats. Oh Kit-Kat, what flavor don't you come in?
This was the kiddie section of the amusement park...
...though since I'm 19 I'm still technically a "kid" here, so it's okay :) Actually, the amusement park had a lot of company sponsorship, including Warner Brothers (hence Loony Tunes and the old Superman / Batman), Thomas the Tank Engine, Licca (the Japanese version of Barbie), Hamtaro, and more.
While we didn't have time to go inside the famed obakeyashiki (haunted house), we did go investigate something a lot more horrifying...
...a lifes-size replica of a 'Licca' doll-house. *gulp* I'd take a haunted house any day over this!!
"But it's...pink."
The middle area during midday. For some reason it wasn't very crowded, we were able to get on all the rides within about an hour or so of waiting.
At night the place lights up, it's really pretty.
Oooohh awwwww eeeeeee
Me and Ham-friggin'-taro! Yeahzzz!
They're undecided if you should actually watch out for deer.
Japanese girls being girly...
...and Xander being Xandery...o.O

"She be the best boat we got."
"But it's... pink."
And I agree that the life-size barbie house is scarier.
Nice article you got here. It would be great to read something more about that matter.
