Cosmoworld

Boasting three roller coasters and one of the world's largest Ferris Wheels, the short trip out to Yokohama's Cosmo World will put smiles on everyone's faces. Yokohama is a great area, with clean air, nice breezes, lots of art, and its own amusement park just a hop, skip and jump from the station. Located along the port, Cosmo World ain't Disney World, but for a nice day of enjoying some rides, playing some games, maybe meeting some Japanese characters (a la Anpanman), grabbing some park food as well as the great view from atop their world class Ferris Wheel, Cosmo World does it all. Not enough? Then there are flume rides, a haunted house and a some 3-D movies - not bad for a small park! -Stephen Lebovitz
