Hanayashiki is an amusement park in Asakusa that has been open to the public since 1853. Entry and rides are paid for separately. The gate ticket gets you into the park and covers the stage shows, which cost nothing extra to watch. Rides are paid with ride tickets or covered by an unlimited ride pass.
The practical side for small children is covered. The park generally asks that children aged four and under ride with an adult, though the details vary by attraction. There are nappy-changing spots in both the women’s and the men’s toilets, as well as nursing rooms. Formula isn’t sold in the park, so bring your own; Information provides hot water. Packed lunches are welcome at the park’s tables and benches, and there is also a food court and snack outlets. If you need to step out, ask the staff at the exit for a re-entry ticket.
The trade-off is rain. Most attractions basically keep running in wet weather, but Swan, Sky Ship and Disk-O stop, and the outdoor rides can leave you damp, so pack raincoats.
