Everything You Need to Know About Japan’s New Legoland

Japan already has Disneyland in Tokyo, Universal Studios in Osaka and now Nagoya is on the brink of opening a new Legoland! Opening April 1st 2017, it will be the world’s eighth Legoland theme park. Let’s take a look at what we can expect from Legoland Japan!

Legoland Japan is a 9.3 acre park, carefully put together with 17 million lego bricks! Filling out the park are seven exciting park zones: Factory, Lego City, Adventure, Miniland, Knight’s Kingdom, Pirate Shore and Bricktopia. The park will feature over 40 attractions and a 2 meter tall Nagoya Castle replica, made from over 200,000 lego bricks!
