Amusement Park
This nostalgia-inducing amusement park, Japan’s oldest, dates back to 1853, and is an absolute delight for the young ones, who can clamber over rides, dress up in old Edo style and watch ninja and samurai shows.

Check the website or the Namjatown map for attractions that don’t require knowledge of Japanese.
