04 · The parks

What each one is.

Legoland Japan

LEGOLAND Japan opened in 2017 in Nagoya, on a waterfront site in the Minato ward. It's smaller than the American and European LEGOLANDs but packs the full experience into a compact footprint: The Dragon coaster through LEGO Castle, a Submarine Adventure, and a MINILAND showcasing Japanese cities in LEGO brick. A SEA LIFE aquarium sits next door as a separate attraction.

Japanese school holidays (Golden Week, summer break, Obon) bring major crowds to LEGOLAND Japan, with queue times on headline attractions stretching over an hour. Weekdays outside those windows are very pleasant. Check live queue times before committing to long waits, and use our crowd calendar to plan around Japan's clustered holiday periods.
