This one’s personal. I’m so biased toward Japan — and Fuji-Q Highland is a major reason why.
If anyone ever asks which theme park has the best view, my answer is always Fuji-Q. You get Mt. Fuji as your backdrop and an adrenaline rush. What’s not to love?
📍 Getting There: I recommend getting the bus + park admission bundle from Shinjuku.
I’ve done the train transfer route, and trust me — it’s stressful. The bus lets me sleep in and skip the hassle.
🎢 Why It’s Worth It:
✔️ Guinness World Record-level rides
✔️ View of Mt. Fuji mid-scream
✔️ Onsen next door if you need to unwind after
✔️ Custard taiyaki in the park = chef’s kiss
🌟 Final Verdict: Was SGD120 Worth It?
Theme park thrills + serene views? Fuji-Q wins.
Go early, bundle your transport, and don’t skip the taiyaki.
