Overview
Kisarazu Ferris Wheel Park Kisarapia (木更津かんらんしゃパークKISARAPIA), commonly shortened to Kisarapia, is an amusement park located at 2-10-1 Kanda-higashi, Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It sits directly adjacent to Mitsui Outlet Park Kisarazu, near the Kisarazu-Kaneda interchange of the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, and was grand-opened on July 1, 2016. The park is built around a 60-meter-tall Ferris wheel that offers panoramic views over Kisarazu Port, Tokyo Bay, the Aqua-Line, and, on clear days, Mount Fuji. The park operates on a free-admission model: entry is free, and each attraction is priced individually. It offers eight attractions, with a strong family orientation — many rides are designed to accommodate small children, pets, and visitors with disabilities. The Ferris wheel gondolas are equipped with touch-operated sightseeing tablets called "Kanransha Navi," air conditioning and heating, and barrier-free access so that wheelchair users can board directly; there are also four see-through gondolas and one pet gondola (pets ride free). At night, full-color LED illumination lights up the wheel and the park. Other attractions include the Tomorrow Coaster (a family coaster accessible from 95 cm in height), the Ocean Swinger (a rotating swing ride), Fuwa-fuwa Cycling (a pedal-powered ride that rises around a tower), Mermaid Paradise (a water ride for children from age two), Gururi Mori Daiboken (a card maze with puzzle-solving and card battles), 4D-KING (a 360-degree 3D theater), Treasure Collection (a gem and fossil hunting attraction), Downtown (carnival games), and Kiddy Ride (character and vehicle rides for young children). The park's mascot is "Kisaramaru," a character combining a raccoon dog (tanuki) with a Ferris wheel. Adjacent to the park is WILD BEACH Kisarazu Seaside Glamping Park, a roughly 2-hectare complex operated by RECREATIONS Co., Ltd. Inspired by the American West Coast, it offers glamping, camping, and barbecue facilities under the concept of making the outdoors more casual, elegant, and stylish. Its facilities include Wild Kingdom (West Coast vintage-style camping and barbecue), RHINOS (an American motel-style camping hotel), and THE BEACH 77 (a grill specialty restaurant with 770 tons of sand beach). The park is accessible by car about five minutes from the Kisarazu-Kaneda IC on the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, and by public transport via buses from JR Sodegaura, Iwane, and Kisarazu stations, as well as highway buses from Tokyo, Yokohama, and other areas. There is no dedicated parking lot, so visitors typically use nearby outlet mall parking.
History
Kisarazu Ferris Wheel Park Kisarapia opened on July 1, 2016, in the Kanda-higashi district of Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture — an area at the landing point of the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line. It was developed as an amusement facility featuring a 60-meter-tall Ferris wheel, positioned directly adjacent to Mitsui Outlet Park Kisarazu, with expectations of mutual customer traffic between the two destinations. The park was designed with free admission, charging visitors per attraction instead of a gate fee. From its opening, the park emphasized family-friendly attractions suitable for children, pets, and visitors with disabilities. The Ferris wheel was equipped with touch-operated sightseeing tablets ("Kanransha Navi"), air conditioning and heating, and barrier-free boarding for wheelchairs, along with see-through gondolas and a dedicated pet gondola. Over time the park added or featured a range of attractions including the Tomorrow Coaster, Ocean Swinger, Mermaid Paradise, Gururi Mori Daiboken, 4D-KING, Treasure Collection, Downtown carnival games, and Kiddy Ride. A mascot character, Kisaramaru — a tanuki combined with a Ferris wheel — was created for the park. Adjacent to the amusement park, the WILD BEACH Kisarazu Seaside Glamping Park was established as a roughly 2-hectare complex operated by RECREATIONS Co., Ltd. Inspired by the American West Coast, it offers glamping, camping, and barbecue experiences with the concept of making outdoor leisure more casual, elegant, and stylish. Its facilities include Wild Kingdom, RHINOS, and THE BEACH 77. The combined park and glamping complex benefits from its location near the Aqua-Line interchange and highway bus connections from Tokyo, Yokohama, and other major stations.
