You step off the steep hill and the park stretches out below: a cluster of steel rails, flashing lights, and terraces that look back toward Tokyo’s skyline. Yomiuriland sits on a hillside where the air feels cooler than the city — the Bandit coaster creaks, children squeal, and on clear days Mount Fuji pins the horizon like a distant promise.
