#amusement Between Osaka and Nara, if you have enough time, it's really good to take your children to play. The top of the mountain is cool and there are not many people. There is an observation deck in the west, where you can overlook the panoramic view of Osaka City. The tickets of the park are divided into free-play tickets and time-counting tickets. It is very cost-effective for children to choose free-play tickets. They can play any one they want, and each item can also be played repeatedly. Adults can buy tickets, unlimited number of people, 12 tickets. Because if the children are not very old, some projects must be accompanied by adults.

A cute retro amusement park on Mt. Ikoma, a popular spot for outings from Osaka 🎡 It takes about 40 minutes from Shin-Osaka Station to Ikoma Station, then about 15 minutes by cable car up the mountain to reach this amusement park 🎢 It's on top of a mountain, so the view is great and it feels great 😆 Admission is free 👀 You can purchase a multi-ride ticket for the attractions and divide them up by the number of people ❕ The attractions that make you feel nostalgic, the characters, the color schemes, everything is cute 🤍 There are many rides that even small children can ride, so it's recommended not only for families with children, but also for dates and outings with friends 😁🫧 #OsakaTourism#Ikoma #Mt.IkomaAmusementPark #AmusementPark

#OsakaTravel #NaraTravel #Osaka #Ikoma #OsakaSuburbs I want to introduce a neighborhood called 【Ikoma生駒】 to those who want to feel the quiet Japan while taking a quiet walk, rather than the lively and noisy tourist spots of Osaka! It is located on the border of Osaka and Nara, and you can feel the atmosphere of Japan in the 80s✨ After getting off at Kintetsu Ikoma Station, If you walk uphill for about 20 minutes and climb the stairs, you will see streets and scenery with a nostalgic feel☺️ (In summer, it is recommended to take the train, Torii-mae Station → Hozanji Station) You will see cafes, restaurants, and ryokans with a nostalgic feel one by one If you go up further, you will come across Hozanji Temple! If you go up even further, there is Ikoma Sanjo Amusement Park at the top of the mountain! The temple is in the mountains, so it feels a little eerie! The stairs of Hozanji are especially magnificent and beautiful in person, so I highly recommend you visit😆 📍Kanwaku Ikoma 〒630-0266 1-1, Monmae-cho, Iwakuni City, Nara Prefecture

This small shrine for praying for safe transportation is located at Hozanji Station on the Kintetsu Ikoma Cable Car. It is located on the north side of the station at the [Hadairyuoji Temple], and it seems to be located in the station. When taking the cable car to Mt. Ikoma, get off at Hozanji Station and transfer to another cable car, and you will see the Hachidai Ryuoji Temple. It was built in September 1953 to pray for the safe operation of the cable and the safety of the workers, and it has been guarding the safety of this cable car traffic. #Japan #JapanTravel #Shrine #Nara #Cable Car

At the center of the hills is Mt. Matsuo🗻, which has an altitude of 315 m, and the highest point is the northern point of Yata Pass, which is 340 m above sea level🗻, which can be reached by climbing west from Yata Temple. There are also historic temples on each mountain. 💞Reasons why we recommend it: We climbed Mt. Yata and Mt. Matsuo. Each mountain has ancient Japanese temples🛕, Yata Temple and Matsuo Temple, which were founded in the Asuka to Nara periods. In particular, Yata Temple is famous for its hydrangea🪻 flowers, and please note that an entrance fee💰 is only charged during the period when these flowers bloom. In spring ☘️, elementary school students use it for school trips, so the hiking trail is very well maintained 🧹.

The Ikoma Sanjo Cable Car is a cable car that connects five stations from Toriimae Station, which is directly connected to Ikoma Station, 20 minutes from Osaka Namba Station, to Ikoma Sanjo Station. It is operated by Kintetsu. The first thing that stands out about cable cars is their incline. It's completely different from the trains you usually ride. From the rear window, you can experience the thrill of almost sliding down. I got on the train close to the last train of the night. Ikoma Sanjo Amusement Park, which is directly connected to Ikoma Sanjo Station, had already closed, but from there I had the beautiful Osaka night view all to myself. #Spring0yenTrip

It's a narrow mountain road, but at the end of it 🫢 there is a very stylish restaurant...

The cable car at Mt. Ikoma in Nara is a must-see experience for family travelers and landscape enthusiasts. In addition to being practical, this cable car is also popular for its cute animal design and is known as the "Smiling Cable Car." The carriages designed in the shape of rabbits and dogs allow every passenger to feel childlike fun and joy, and are especially attractive to family tourists and children. The cable car departs from Ikoma Station and slowly climbs to the top of Mt. Ikoma. The scenery along the way changes with the altitude, and each season has its own beauty: cherry blossoms dot the mountains in spring, lush greenery in summer, red leaves all over the mountains in autumn, and magnificent scenery covered with snow in winter. After reaching the top of the mountain, you can also overlook the panoramic views of Osaka and Nara, and even see Kobe in the distance when the weather is clear. Ikoma Sanjo Park is the terminus of the cable car. It has children's play facilities, a small train and an observation deck, making it a great place for the whole family to enjoy a relaxing time together. The interesting shape of the cable car combined with the magnificent natural scenery along the way makes this mountain journey full of memories. 📍 **Departure location**: Ikoma Station, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture (accessible from Kintetsu Line) 🕒 **Business hours**: 9:00–17:30 (may be adjusted according to the season) 💰 **Ticket price**: Adult one-way ￥360 / Child one-way ￥180 🎯 **Recommended season**: Spring and autumn are the best seasons for flower and maple viewing #Nara Travel #Ikoma Mountain Cable Car #Cute Cable Car #Parent-Child Travel #Nara Attractions #Japanese Cable Car Experience #Mountain Beauty #Nara Must Visit #Ikoma Mountain #Nature and Fun #January Good Places 2025

#GlobalTravel Many people think of deer and Nara Park when they come to Nara for the first time. But in fact, Nara’s charm goes far beyond this. Located on a mountain in Ikoma, Nara, there is an amusement park with a long history that opened in 1929. The most famous one is the aerial bicycle game. It is a very unique experience to enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery while riding an aerial bicycle. The amusement park is free to enter, but each ride is charged at around 500-600 yen per ride. On the day of my visit, I didn’t get to experience too many rides because of the unexpected heavy snow, which gave the entire park a completely different beauty. Seeing the colorful Showa amusement rides covered in snow was very touching. This view is made even more precious by the fact that the park is closed in winter from December to mid-March. Park opening hours: 10:00 to 17:00 (Business hours are extended in summer, so if you want to experience amusement rides at sunset, remember to visit in summer) 📍Address: Nara Ikoma

#11月好去地方2024 I took the cable car to enter the park Because the cable car is an "interesting" design The park is large and has a lot of walking space You can overlook other cities from the top Magnificent views This place is better for children The park offers many rides All of them are suitable for children Buy a one-day pass and play all day Because you don't have to queue The children said it's more fun than Universal Studios The game equipment is not too exciting Don't dare to play too exciting equipment It's also suitable for adults The rides close early This is a good place to stroll and enjoy the scenery

When you think of theme parks in the Kansai region, many people probably think of Universal Studios Japan and Hirakata Park. This time, we'll introduce Ikoma Sanjo Amusement Park, which both adults and children can enjoy. Ikoma Sanjo Amusement Park in Nara Prefecture is a hidden gem of a theme park, and you can enjoy it all day long and enjoy it to the fullest, tailored to the needs of the visitors. Ikoma Sanjo Amusement Park is an amusement park located on the top of Mt. Ikoma, which straddles Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture, and Higashiosaka City, Osaka Prefecture. It takes about 15 minutes to get there by taking a cute cable car. This cable car is more exciting than riding a cable car, as it makes you feel like you're riding an attraction. And what's more, admission is free. So, when the cable car arrives, you can enter right away. There is a fee for the rides, but you can purchase tickets for as many rides as you want and ride the attractions. It only costs about 300 yen! Because it's on top of a mountain, the air is very fresh, and the colors of an old-fashioned amusement park have an indescribable emotional quality. There are a lot of attractions, ranging from thrilling rides to attractions for children, and attractions where you can ride while enjoying the scenery🐼 Recently, the cycle monorail that you can ride while watching the sunset has been a hot topic on social media🌇 It depends on the season, but if you ride at sunset time, you can see a really beautiful sunset. Depending on the season and weather, the sky can look orange, purple, or pink, and you can see a view that you can't see in the city. That's why many couples visit here on dates these days! Depending on the season, they are open for night games, so they are also recommended for dates 🩷 Business hours Normally 10:00-17:00 Night games are available for a limited time 10:00-20:00 📍Ikomayama Amusement Park 2312-1 Nabatacho, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture #FreeTabi #0yenTrip #AmusementPark #Nara #Shopping #DomesticTrip #Domestic #IkomayamaAmusementPark #ThemePark #Japan

There are many options for family trip to Osaka. Want to go to an amusement park and want to see the scenery? There is no need to choose one, adults need both! Then I recommend this Ikoma Mountain Playground to everyone! This is a playground on the mountain 500 meters above sea level. You have to take the sightseeing cable car to get up. You have to change the car once. The cable car scenery is very good and worth a ride! Up to the playground 🎡, the amusement facilities are suitable for both adults and children to play, one accidentally plays until sunset and dark, this time to grab the will take a beautiful dusk view, even the night view is very beautiful, very worth seeing! Many local couples go to this playground to date! However, mention that the wind is very strong in the mountains, and it is cooler at night in summer. It is recommended to bring a jacket so as not to get cold! #Themepark #Ikoyama Mountain Amusement Park #Osaka Attractions #Good place for parents and children #Sunset view

When you feel bored in Osaka, go to "Ikoma"😆 Ikoma, located in Nara Prefecture, is a small and quiet city. Get off at Ikoma Station and follow the cable car signs to ride Japan's first cute cable car. ❗️You can ride the cable car with the Kintetsu Rail Pass❗️ There is a small amusement park called Ikoma Sanjo at the final stop of the cable car, but it is said to be closed in winter. Check the operating hours and go! I left late and arrived in the evening, but I couldn't go to Ikoma Sanjo. I got off at Hozanji Station, which was a transfer station, and went to Bosanji. There are some stairs to go up, but it was worth it. Most people visit during the day, but Bosanji, which I visited in the evening, was a little shabby!!! The night view was so pretty. There was no one, so it was nice to take pictures👍👍 However, I was a little scared, so I went there quickly and came back down..ㅎ Take a cute cable car and take a picture of your life at Hozanji Bosansa Temple in the evening😆 #Japan #JapanTravel #Osaka #OsakaTravel #PlacesToVisitInNara #Ikoma #Bosansa #Hozanji
