Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
Slide 1 of 8
Very cool hybrid dome that covers the stadium but the sides are open to the outdoors. Make sure if you're sitting on the first base side to take a left and if 3rd base side take a right towards the playground so you don't have to walk all the way back around since regular tickets cannot go behind home plate. Also if you are like me and need to catch the limited express line out of there, make sure to buy the reserved seats from their booth at the train gates.
Absolutely delightful dome. The fact it’s open air on the sides brings in fresh air and can offer a slight breeze. The seats were wide and very comfortable, bathrooms and concessions were easy to locates and lines were short. The team store is outside the ticketed area so if you go during the game make sure to bring your ticket for reentry to the game.
Much bigger than it looks from the outside. The open air dome concept is awesome! Nice field and comfortable seats as well. Lots of food options and the train station is literally right next to the stadium. PRO TIP- buy a limited express ticket for your departure prior to the game.
TRAVIS SCOTT concert was a MOVIE!! Floor standing was great, had a perfect view of the stage.
shouldve gave platinum ppl better merch and shit tbh, concert was lit tho
Covered dome but not a fully enclosed stadium so lots of fresh air. Went to watch the Lions play. What great baseball and better fans. Super fun!!
Belluna Dome in Saitama holds a special place in my heart as the venue for the unforgettable Lady Gaga concert I attended in Japan. The acoustics were exceptional, amplifying every note and creating an immersive experience for the audience. The setting itself was stunning, with a spacious layout that allowed for seamless movement and excellent visibility from every angle. Additionally, the venue's convenient location and direct transport options made it easily accessible for fans coming from different parts of Japan. It's not just a concert venue; it's a place where music transcends boundaries and creates lasting memories for fans like me.
Fun stadium but it's a bit out of the way. It's a trek to get to from Kanagawa, but there is good food and beer here. I recommend bringing a fan because it's stuffy under the roof. There is ample parking about an 8 minute walk, but the train station exit is at the gates to the stadium. The stadium takes credit card at basically every kiosk and there are plenty of bathrooms. The atmosphere for the game was alright, but not stellar. It's worth the trip if you want to see the Lions play.

Tokorozawa Aviation Memorial Park is a wonderful place to spend time with family and friends. The park is very large, peaceful, and clean, with plenty of open green spaces for walking, picnics, and relaxation. It’s also child-friendly, with playgrounds and areas where kids can run around safely. Inside the park, there is the Tokorozawa Aviation Museum, where you can learn about the history of airplanes and helicopters. The combination of nature and history makes this park very special. I highly recommend visiting—it’s one of the best places for a relaxing day and also for learning about Japan’s aviation history.
Large open park with on display aircraft and numerous monuments and markers detailing Japanese aviation events.
Big and fantastic park in Tokorozawa area. It is very near from Koku koen station on seibu Shinjuku line. It contains free and paid games for kids, wide green areas, aviation museum.
Awesome park with something for everyone. Lots of beautiful old growth trees, fields, running/walking and biking routes, sports fields, basketball courts, large children's playground area, and peaceful gardens/pond, and a few food trucks. Plenty of drinking fountains for people and pets alike throughout the park. We've seen periodical swap/flea market. Multiple parking areas that are free for the first couple hours any day of the week. General park area seems to be accessible 24/7 with free admission.

This park celebrates the first avian runway in Japan. You will encounter various types of aircrafts that are displayed in some open spaces. Those who are not interested in aircraft’s can also enjoy the park. A flight simulator is available.
Very wide open park with an aviation related museum and many other things to see. Nice during cherry blossom season. Parking for fee for cars, but motorcycles can park for free in dedicated parking area next to northern ‘museum’ car parking. Motorcycles can enter to the left (when entering) of the car parking gate. Exit from the same lane.
Very friendly park with lots of facilities, big playgrounds and a water playing area. You can feel local life here quietly.

Rides & shows feature at this retro amusement park themed around the Shōwa era (1926–89).
Slide 1 of 8
This is a amusement park that is based on nostalgic theme (Showa Era) The theme, performances and rides are mostly leisure based and it's really different from that of Disneyland or Universal Studio. Overall it was a great place to visit especially if you want to experience nostalgia. Date: 22 November 2024
This park was a lot more enjoyable than I expected it to be. I came here a few years ago, but it has changed a lot since then. The style of the park turned very retro and the theme made my mother nostalgic. Even though we went on a Thursday, mid June (there were not many people) the employees still performed amazing shows that kept the mood of the park fun. I would definitely recommend going here if you are visiting Japan! (Also, I would recommend going on a weekday, so you can avoid messy lines)
Great amusement park with 8D short film of (Ultraman, Godzilla) , varieties of rides and it was quiet as it was a weekday so no queue for us . The view from the observation tower was beautiful . You just pay for car parking using the parking machine before you enter the amusement park.
Older amusement park and we went to check out Ultraman's movie/ride. For the nostalgia it is a great spot to visit... The cast members performance is 5/5, amazing. They are 100% committed to their roles and love their dedication. When we got there, we were promptly greeted and guided to the right spot. He even offered to take our picture. I wish I had his name... Older gentleman. Most rides were open and some closed and we didn't mind it at all. We went on a weekday and it was pretty empty but worth the trip out. Unfortunately they didn't have the Ultraman and instead had Godzilla movie/ride and that was awesome. It was pretty intense and also loved it.
Had the most fun time at Seibuen! Saw lots of families but also plenty of couples like ourselves (late 20’s) having fun on all the rides! 5 stars as we did have a really fun time and also because the staff there are exceptional! We arrived at about 1ish and went to the ticket desk to purchase tickets and the lady informed us that Godzilla will be starting soon and Ultraman will close in 5 minutes. She asked if we would want to see ultraman and I said we would but that it’s no problem if not (we are bigger Godzilla fans). She spoke to the ride operators and they agreed to hold the ride for us so we could experience Ultraman, we went through the gates and were escorted directly there! 10/10, would never get that service here in the UK!
The 5D movie and the Shouwa Street was pretty cool. It might be an ok place for kids, but I don't think it worth as much for adults considering the ticket price.
Loved it! Very relaxing and nice atmosphere. Time to enjoy all the attractions without the stress of lining for 1hrs. Super main attraction with Ultraman and Godzilla!
A very good place to visit. If you like old Japan.....the 360 4D video in cinema is a surprise. Similar items in Disney land or universal studio require to cue for 1-2hrs. Although not much activities, but I love the atmosphere there. The staff r energetic and nice, even we don't under English. You might spend 4-5 hrs if u come with kid.

Son had fun seeing the planes in the museum. Very interactive place as well with simulators. Could have been a bigger place so the planes aren’t crowded altogether for better photos. Entrance is cheap. Only paid ¥620 for 1 adult and 1 child.
I wanted to see something amazing,but it was just normal. The main room is exciting with lots of aircraft displayed. Especially like the ones up above, hanging from the ceiling. Some have stairs to examine the cockpit and one you can climb into for pictures. The history of the airfield is also enjoyable. However they suggest that it is the site of a former aircraft memorabilia stockpile. Where did all that cool stuff go?!? I want to see. Also World War II receives little discussion. Some interactive areas and displays for kids. There are four stamps in the main exhibition hall. Three with various aircraft and one postcard style with five colors. 520 yen entrance fee. Parking free for two hours. The parking lot seemed to have space when I departed in the early afternoon. There also might be free street parking (the signs say no, but lots of cars there).
Tokorozawa Aviation Museum is an excellent place to learn about the history of airplanes and helicopters. The exhibits are very educational and presented in a way that even children can enjoy, making it a very child-friendly environment. The ticket price is low and definitely worth it—I recommend everyone to buy the tickets. Inside, you can even sit inside a real airplane, try an airplane simulation game, and enjoy many more interactive experiences. Overall, it’s one of the best places to visit for both families and aviation enthusiasts.
Small museum but lots of cool aircraft. There’s a sim as well and some other related exhibits like ATC and some aviation history related stuff.
Nice museum but not too big - only 8-9 planes indoor and the Commando outside. Unfortunately, the museum covers only post war planes. So, no Zero and other famous (and brilliant) japanese made planes from WW2. Overall, the ride from DT Tokyo is quite long (90min per way) and I wouldn’t invest that much time for this again.
Amazing!!! Exceeded expectations, great day out for a 43 degree heat outside for families…. It was worth the 3hr drive in heavy traffic to get here I would come back again it’s that good ! Flight simulator, planes to sit in and a movie theater and interactive games and workshops and only ¥840 for adult kids free below 6 years
Good place to visit! The price is cheap around $ 5.7 for adult including the movie theater ticket.
Very nice place with nice collection of aircraft with hands on experience. They have a small movie theatre as well. With the ticket you can have a re-entry as food is not allowed inside. Huge park outside the museum.

It was really exciting time. Me and my parents enjoyed skiing for about 3 hours. There are some instructors that are very kind. Great place for beginners and mid class because the slope was not steep
we enjoyed our time in the sayama ski resort but we only stayed in the snow park since we have kids. Definitely a good option for families near Tokyo.
It is an indoor ski resort located at Tokorozawa which is not too far away from Tokyo. It is a great spot to go to if you can’t wait to snowboard but all other resorts are not open yet. It is not crowded during the weekday and the snow condition feels like spring slushy snow which is good for beginner as well.
Review coming from a beginner. The service is pretty good but the length of ski is rather short. The ice is not so soft so hurts a bit when you are doing for the first time and keep falling, but as you get the hang of it, it's fun. Rental service available 4200 yen for clothes shoes and board. 3100 for 4 hour pass. Overall if someone wants to experience skiing without going to a mountain it's great.
Service was amazing and so was the rentals. Only problem was that it was just too much money I spent 10,000 yen for a day pass and rentals this may not seem much but in japan this could buy like 2 weeks worth of groceries. Slope was great but there isn't much room for beginners like myself and considering that there were highly skilled people it made it hard to get the feel off it. Overall this place is great but there are better options in turns of price.
it's good place for begginer, but junk for locker! careful not to forget anything once you open it you need to pay to close it.but it doesn't written they gonna said only to you is sumimasen!!!
Good place to learn skiing, the snow isn't the best but okay. Please take the course if possible if you've never ski before because the first time i tried i flew off like a star
I don’t know if this place is more crowded on holidays/weekends but we went on a regular weekday and it was very empty. No waiting line for anything. This place is good for absolute beginners to get a feel for the snow and get the basic knowledge of snowboarding or skiing. Not recommended for higher level skiers, as it doesn’t offer any challenge at all.

very old traditional but beautiful shrine with cherry blossoms
This is a shrine with a history. And it has another shrine called, "Torikoshi shrine" which is for the aeroplane.
I’ve celebrated new years here many times. It’s great, local and festive. Just wondered
A very good local shrine that's not crowded like the big ones
A lovely shrine with deep historic significance. More people should know about it. THE main shrine to worship Amaterasu in the Kanto region. Must be great fun during the festivals.
Good festival it was
(Translated by Google) Tokorozawa Shinmeisha Shrine is a shrine deeply rooted in Tokorozawa, the birthplace of Japan's aviation culture. Tokorozawa Airfield opened in April 1911 as Japan's first airport, and Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, the pilot of the first flight there, made an official pilgrimage there the day before, along with several other people involved. Today, the shrine is visited by many people, particularly those praying for the safety of aircraft and the skies. (Original) 所澤神明社は、日本の航空文化発祥の地 「所沢」に根付く神社です。 明治44年(1911年)4月に日本最初の飛行場として開設された所沢飛行場において、その初飛行のパイロットとなった徳川好敏が前日に関係者数名とともに正式参詣したことから、今日では特に飛行機と空の安全に関する祈願のために参拝客も訪れています。
