Seibu-en
Seibu-en (西武園ゆうえんち, Seibuen Yuenchi) is an amusement park located near Tokyo in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture. It is just outside the Seibuen-yūenchi Station, which is also owned and operated by the Seibu Railway. The park underwent a significant expansion and redesign for the 2021 season, focused around a Showa era themed marketplace, a Godzilla motion simulator attraction, and a children's area based on the work of Osamu Tezuka. An Ultraman attraction opened for the 2023 season, which shared the Yuhikan Theater with the Godzilla attraction.
Attractions
Certain attractions are closed during rainy weather. The park charges a separate admittance fee for each attraction. However, a one-day free ticket is available, which includes admission and unlimited rides on most attractions.
In the evening, portions of the park are illuminated.
