[Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture] A famous spot that is very popular with children! Guide to Iwayama Parkland and Iwate Prefectural Transportation Park
table of contents
Iwayama Parkland is the only amusement park in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture. Located in the mountains, it is close to Morioka Zoo. This theme park has long been loved by the people of Morioka City, and is visited by many children during the summer holidays
Also popular with children in Morioka City is Iwate Prefectural Traffic Park, where actual roads are realistically reproduced within the park, allowing children to learn traffic rules in a safe place away from cars
This time, we will introduce some spots in Morioka City that are loved by children
Iwayama Parkland Free Pass is a good deal
There is a free pass that includes an admission ticket (2,600 yen for adults, 2,200 yen for children). It is recommended for people who want to spend the whole day there. There is also a free pass for families (8,400 yen for a set of two adults and two children). With a multi-ride ticket, you have to keep track of how many tickets you have left, but with a free pass you can play as much as you want
The main attraction is the Pop Spin Coaster!
The main attraction at Iwayama Parkland is the Pop Spin Coaster. The biggest difference between this and a regular roller coaster is that the seats are not fixed. The coaster spins 360 degrees due to the influence of the wind and the center of gravity. You might even make eye contact with the person riding behind you
Even if you pass the same point, the scenery will be completely different depending on the direction of your body. This is why many people ride the Pop Spin Coaster multiple times. Because the view is different every time, you can enjoy it without getting bored
Apollo is also a popular attraction
There are also the classic teacups, go-karts, a Ferris wheel, and a merry-go-round. Apollo is a particularly popular attraction. You ride something like a gondola and spin around. Since you'll be upside down, it may be difficult for people who don't like attractions
