Last update :

Opened in 2001 in Sodegaura City, Chiba Prefecture, this theme park was designed to resemble the rural landscape of Germany. The park, which is about 19 times the size of Tokyo Dome, is divided into four areas based on the concept of "a place where nature and people can coexist": Lake Area, Country Area, Market Area, and Park Area. You can drive right into the park, which is very convenient given the vastness of the grounds.

There are attractions that everyone from small children to adults can enjoy, such as a petting zoo, fruit and vegetable harvesting experiences like mandarins, potatoes, and peanuts, and even putt-putt golf on the expansive lawn. There are also flower fields scattered throughout the park, such as a rose garden, a European garden, and a color hill, where a variety of flowers such as roses, moss phlox, baby blue eyes, poppies, lilies, cockscomb, and hydrangeas bloom throughout the seasons.

In winter, the park is also famous as an illumination spot and has been selected as one of the "Three Major Illuminations of Kanto". Every year, the illumination, which has a different theme each year, adds a fantastical touch to the park and enchants the visitors.

    If you're traveling in Chiba, Tokyo German Village is definitely worth setting aside a whole day for! The park is an incredible 19 times the size of Tokyo Dome. It's truly astonishingly huge—even after spending the entire day there until evening, I still felt like there were so many places I hadn't explored!

    The grounds are very clean and beautifully maintained, with vast green lawns, seasonal flowers in full bloom, and expansive natural scenery. Walking around is especially relaxing and feels like a temporary escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Every casual snapshot turns into a beautiful photo. Anyone who loves flowers and photography will definitely fall in love with this place!

    There aren't just beautiful gardens here, but also all kinds of rides and activities that both adults and children can enjoy. It's perfect for family trips, outings with friends, or dates. You can also drive into some areas of the park, making it even more convenient to explore.

    When you get tired from walking around, don't forget to try the food! The sausages and coffee are both quite good, especially the Baumkuchen. It's sweet and delicious, and I loved it from the first bite. It's definitely worth recommending!

    What I was looking forward to most was the seasonal nighttime light show. The twinkling lights create a romantic, dreamlike atmosphere that's completely different from the daytime, and each has its own beauty.

    The admission price is reasonable, the surroundings are beautiful, and the staff is very friendly. It's a place where you can have fun and make wonderful memories. Next time, I definitely want to visit in a different season and fully experience the charm of Tokyo German Village!

    The park is huge! You really need to walk a lot or take the little train inside. The vibe is kind of like a European countryside—it's cute, but it doesn't feel super 'German.'
