Our role is to guide international visitors through the official booking process, ensuring a seamless and accessible experience without directly selling or reselling tickets. As a Japan-based service with bilingual staff, we understand the unique challenges faced by non-Japanese visitors and work to overcome these obstacles, including:

• Language Barriers: Many ticketing systems in Japan are primarily in Japanese, which can be difficult for international visitors to navigate. Jasumo Tickets offers bilingual support in English and other languages to simplify the booking process and ensure clear communication.

Jasumo Tickets assists by providing clear instructions and timely support to maximize your chances of obtaining entry.
• Due to high demand, particularly during peak seasons and the Fireworks Festival, ticket availability is not guaranteed without advance reservations. Refunds will only be issued if tickets cannot be secured through official channels or if the park cancels operations. No refunds are provided for unused tickets or weather-related closures (e.g., rain, snow).
• To ensure your visit, we strongly recommend booking early by clicking Buy Now anywhere on this page.
