It is without a doubt that Sagamiko Resort offers something beyond fascinating during their winter illumination forest. Over 5 million LED are used to illuminate 13 lighting concepts, taking advantage of the resort’s fountains and lush slopes. Light shows and typical British music can be enjoyed throughout the arena, and as an amusement park should be, there are about 10 rides are ready to elevate the excitement level for families and couples.

Sagamiko Resort Pleasure Forest is located near Sagamiko JR Station, just one stop away from Takao Station on the Chuo Line west of Tokyo, and it is fully covered by the JR East Pass.
