Things to know when choosing in Kanto
- Many suburban places need a bus after you get off the train in the evening, so check the time of the last bus back first (Tokyo German Village, Sagamiko, Moomin Valley Park and others).
- Tokyo German Village, Mother Farm, Tobu Zoo and Ashikaga Flower Park have car parks, and many visitors drive. German Village charges for parking separately.
- At some places the lighting time changes with sunset or the day of the week. Check the date you plan to go on the official page linked in each section.
- Many places end by the end of February, so for January and February, Tokyo German Village and Yomiuriland (until April) and Sagamiko (until May) are easier choices.
