Kijima Kogen Park, Beppu

Kijima Kogen Park was the first theme park we visited in Japan. The park is pretty decent and resembles a typical european Tivoli, with a beautiful garden and a great selection of amusement rides. The park is famous for its wooden roller coaster Jupiter (one of the longest in the world and the first one in Japan), which sadly was down due to maintenance whilst visit. But even without a ride on Jupiter, it was quite easy to spend a full day at this high plateau full of fun; at least, we have a reason to come back to visit Beppu someday.

It was super cool and windy when we visited. Wonderful place for kids. Driving school is fun and our kid loves that so so much. We had fun there too. There are a few restaurant available. Quite warm at indoor area. Indoor game centre also available. Some facilities which we didn't try is for teenage or above, plenty of choices. Good for kids and teenagers.
