Nagashima Spaland Gallery. One of Japan's biggest theme parks, Nagashima is an easy day -trip from Tokyo on the Shinkansen (high-speed) bullet trains. We were the only Westerners in the park, and the locals were eager to say 'Hello' & take a photo! There's a great collection of rides, although several weren't open all the main rides were.
