Japanese city Yokohama has unveiled its plans for a new theme park called Kamiseya Park, due to open in 2031.
As per a press release, the next-generation theme park will feature cutting-edge Japanese technology, entertainment and content. Via SoraNews24, the project will be led by Mitsubishi Estate, one of Japan’s largest real estate developers.
The park will be a similar size to Tokyo Disneyland at 51 hectares, offering themed areas including a family-friendly zone, a live entertainment area, and a space for thrill-seekers.
To access the park, guests will use a new subway station called Kamiseya Station, which is due to open in 2027. The station will include shops, restaurants and more for theme park guests.
Additionally, the new theme park will feature green spaces for the public and guests. The site will first be used to host the International Horticultural Expo in 2027.
Kamiseya Park to open in 2031
Mitsubishi Estate plans to open Kamiseya Park in 2031, initially targeting at least 12 million visitors a year (via Nikkei Asia).
In more news, Nintendo has confirmed that construction on its new Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan will be completed by the end of March next year.
The video game company is repurposing an old factory building and its surrounding land for the museum, which will showcase historical gaming products.
Japan’s Ghibli Park has also announced the opening dates of its remaining two lands, Mononoke Village and Valley of Witches.
Unlike Japanese parks such as Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea and Universal Studios Japan, Ghibli Park has no rides or coasters.
