Tokyo Joypolis tickets cost ¥1,700 for entry only or ¥6,000 for a full-day Passport with unlimited rides (adults, 2026 official prices). The park is SEGA’s indoor theme park on floors 3–5 of DECKS Tokyo Beach in Odaiba, 2 minutes from Odaiba-kaihinkoen Station; plan 3–5 hours and book the Passport online to pay less than at the gate.

What is Tokyo Joypolis?

Joypolis is an indoor amusement park built by SEGA. It opened on 12 July 1996 and turned 30 this year. It is now run by CA Sega Joypolis, and SEGA licenses the brand and many of the rides. Think of it as a three-storey arcade crossed with a theme park: a couple of real thrill rides, a lot of motion simulators and shooting rides, walk-through horror houses, and anime and game collaborations that change every few months.

It is not Disney or USJ. No outdoor coasters, no parades, and most attractions last a few minutes. What it does well is pack 20-odd things to do into one warm, dry building.

Who it suits: teenagers and young adults, groups who want something competitive, fans of SEGA, Attack on Titan, Naruto or Ace Attorney, and parents of school-age kids on a rainy day.

Who it doesn’t suit: toddlers (many rides need 110 cm or 130 cm), anyone prone to motion sickness (lots of spinning and simulators), and visitors who want big outdoor coasters. For those, see our Tokyo Disney tickets guide.

How much are Tokyo Joypolis tickets in 2026?

These are the official gate prices. “Student” means elementary, junior high and high school students. Adults are 18 and over.

Ticket	Adult (18+)	Student	What you get
Entry only	¥1,700 (US$11)	¥1,400	Admission. Pay per ride (¥700–¥1,000 each)
Passport (full day)	¥6,000 (US$38)	¥5,000	Admission + unlimited rides until closing
Evening Passport	¥5,000 (US$32)	¥4,000	Admission + unlimited rides, sold from 15:00 (16:00 on 22:00-closing days)

Annual Passport	¥29,000	¥24,000	Unlimited visits and rides for a year

Source: official ticket page. US$ at ¥157 = US$1.

Free entry. Preschoolers under 110 cm get in free and ride free, but only on some attractions, and a guardian must go with them. Preschoolers 110 cm and over get in free but pay for rides. Visitors 60 and over get in free with ID (passport works), and pay the in-park Passport rate of ¥4,300 if they want unlimited rides. Pregnant visitors (with a maternal health handbook) and disability-certificate holders plus up to two companions also get free entry.

Buying a Passport inside. If you came in on an entry ticket, you can upgrade at the in-park machines: the Passport costs ¥4,300 (students ¥3,600) and the Evening Passport ¥3,300 (¥2,600) without admission. Entry plus upgrade adds up to the same as buying the Passport at the gate, so there is no penalty for deciding once you’re inside.

What the Passport doesn’t cover. DecoPOLIS (the event and exhibition space, separate fee, cash only), JOYPOLIS SPORTS X next door, food, prize games and collaboration merchandise.

Tokyo Cheapo and several blogs still quote ¥1,200 entry and a ¥5,000 Passport. Those are pre-2023 prices. Budget with the figures above.

Is the Joypolis Passport worth it?

Usually, yes, if you plan to ride more than five or six things. Rides cost ¥700–¥1,000 each, so entry plus six rides at ¥800 is about ¥6,500, more than the ¥6,000 Passport. Arrive at opening on a quiet weekday and a Passport holder can realistically get through a dozen or more attractions.

Buy entry only if you are mainly there to watch kids ride, to see a collaboration event, or to try two or three headline rides. Buy the Choinori Night ticket if you only want Halfpipe Tokyo and Gekion Live Coaster after work: ¥3,100 for two rides beats ¥1,700 + ¥2,000.

The Evening Passport is the weakest deal on weekdays in autumn. When the park closes at 19:00, 15:00 entry gives you four hours for ¥1,000 less than the full day.

Where to buy Joypolis tickets cheaper

1. Official site first. The ticket page links to an online Passport sold through asoview at ¥5,700 (students ¥4,700), ¥300 less than the gate. It’s a Passport exchange voucher on your phone: it can’t be cancelled or changed, and it’s valid for three months from purchase (asoview). The official homepage also lists time-limited deals: in autumn 2026 a parent-and-child group Passport (¥13,900 for three, ¥18,500 for four, on sale until 30 November) and a Halloween Pair Passport (¥9,600 for two adults) that was sold only until 1 November 2026.
2. Platforms. Klook (rated 4.4 from 4,200+ reviews, 200K+ booked) sells a 1-Day Passport with free cancellation before redemption; you show the mobile voucher at the entrance and staff swap it for a ticket. In October 2026 its US-dollar price was well below the official ¥5,700, and parts of the listing are out of date (it still mentions a ZERO LATENCY VR fee), so check the yen total and what’s included before you pay. Rakuten Travel Experiences, Headout and Tiqets also sell Passports.
3. Yurikamome Enjoy Pass. An adult-only ¥2,800 package listed on the official homepage: Joypolis admission, a Yurikamome one-day ticket and one attraction ticket. Good value if you’re riding the Yurikamome anyway and only want one or two rides.

Tickets bought from the park are non-refundable and non-transferable.

What are the best rides at Tokyo Joypolis?

Joypolis has about 20 attractions on three park floors (the park’s 1F–3F sit on the building’s 3F–5F). Prices below are the pay-per-ride rates; all are included in the Passport. Height is measured in shoes at the entrance. Full list: official attractions page.

1. Halfpipe Tokyo (Thrill ride)

The Lowdown: The ride everyone queues for. Pairs of riders stand on a board that swings up a giant halfpipe, and you spin it yourself to score points. Short, physical and a lot more intense than it looks.

Where: Park 1F

The Vibe: Loud, sweaty, competitive. Friends filming each other from the rail.

Price: ¥1,000 per ride. Minimum height 130 cm.

Official Link: tokyo-joypolis.com/attraction

💡 Japan Pro Tip: Do it first. Klook reviewers report 5–15-minute waits early in the day rising to 40–60 minutes on popular rides later. Empty your pockets: loose phones and coins are a problem on anything that flips.

2. Gekion Live Coaster (Indoor roller coaster)

The Lowdown: Joypolis’s only proper coaster, with a rhythm game bolted on. You hit pads in time with the music as the car twists through the building, and your score appears at the end.

Where: Park 1F

The Vibe: Half coaster, half arcade cabinet. Fun on a second lap once you know the track.

Price: ¥1,000. Minimum height 130 cm.

Official Link: tokyo-joypolis.com/attraction

💡 Japan Pro Tip: Forget the score on your first ride and just watch the track. You’ll do better second time round, and with a Passport the repeat costs nothing.

3. Storm G (Spinning ride)

The Lowdown: A rotating bobsleigh-style ride that spins you 360 degrees as it races. The biggest stomach test in the park.

Where: Park 2F

The Vibe: Screams, then nervous laughter.

Price: ¥800. Height 140–200 cm.

Official Link: tokyo-joypolis.com/attraction

💡 Japan Pro Tip: Ride it before lunch, not after. Pair it with Halfpipe Tokyo and Gekion and you’ve done the three big thrills inside an hour.

4. Transformers Human Alliance Special and House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn (Shooting rides)

The Lowdown: Two SEGA arcade franchises turned into ride-in shooting games. Transformers has moving seats and a big screen; House of the Dead is zombie blasting for two.

Where: Park 2F

The Vibe: Retro gamer heaven. Good for mixed-ability groups because no one needs a head for heights.

Price: Transformers ¥800 (130 cm+). House of the Dead ¥700 (90 cm+).

Official Link: tokyo-joypolis.com/attraction

💡 Japan Pro Tip: Both are a few minutes long and reload fast, so queues move quickly even when the board shows 20 minutes.

5. Wild River, Wild Wing and Wild Jungle Brothers (Family simulators)

The Lowdown: The “Wild Adventure Tour” trio: a rapids-style raft ride, a flight simulator and an off-road jeep. The best options for children who are 110 cm but not yet 130 cm.

Where: Park 3F

The Vibe: Gentle-to-medium thrills. Kids ride two or three times in a row.

Price: ¥800 each. Minimum height 110 cm.

Official Link: tokyo-joypolis.com/attraction

💡 Japan Pro Tip: These are the rides that make a child’s Passport pay off. Check your kids’ height in shoes before you buy, because 130 cm opens up the big three.

6. Horror houses: Sadako, Murder Lodge, Ayakashi Mansion (Walk-through and 3D sound)

The Lowdown: Japanese horror done properly. “Sadako: The Cursed Fortune-Telling House” is based on The Ring. Murder Lodge is a binaural 3D-sound horror in the dark. Ayakashi Mansion is a 3D gimmick theatre with Japanese ghosts.

Where: Park 3F

The Vibe: Small groups clutching each other. Much of it is in Japanese, but the scares aren’t.

Price: Sadako ¥900 (140–185 cm). Murder Lodge ¥700 (no under-7s; ages 7–10 must be with a guardian). Ayakashi Mansion ¥700 (110 cm+).

Official Link: tokyo-joypolis.com/attraction

💡 Japan Pro Tip: On weekdays some of these open later than the park. In late October, Sadako started at 12:30 and Murder Lodge at 13:00 on weekdays, but both opened with the park (10:00) at weekends. Ayakashi Mansion follows park hours. On a weekday, do the thrill rides in the morning and the horror in the afternoon.

7. Anime and game attractions: Attack on Titan, Ace Attorney, Naruto (Walk-through and dance)

The Lowdown: Attack on Titan: Decision is a walk-through story attraction. Gyakuten Saiban in Joypolis is an Ace Attorney mystery where you solve the case. Naruto Music Dancer is a group dance game.

Where: Park 1F (Naruto) and 3F

The Vibe: Fan service. Heavy on Japanese dialogue.

Price: Attack on Titan ¥900; Ace Attorney ¥700; Naruto ¥1,000. No height limits.

Official Link: tokyo-joypolis.com/attraction

💡 Japan Pro Tip: Ace Attorney opened at 13:00 on weekdays (12:30 at weekends) in late October; Attack on Titan runs all day. The story attractions rely on Japanese text and voice. If you don’t read Japanese, Attack on Titan works best visually; skip Ace Attorney unless you’re a fan who knows the plot beats.

What are the Tokyo Joypolis opening hours?

Hours change by day, and the park publishes them month by month on its calendar page. For November 2026:

Dates (Nov 2026)	Hours
Wed–Fri 4–6, Tue–Fri 10–13, Tue–Fri 17–20, Wed–Fri 25–27	11:00–19:00
Mon 2, 9, 16, 30; Sat 7, 14; Sun 22; Tue 24	10:00–19:00
Sun 1, 8, 15, 29; Sat 21, 28; holidays Tue 3 and Mon 23	10:00–20:00

Source: official calendar, checked 29 October 2026.

December 2026: not yet published (29 October). The calendar says hours from 1 December “will be announced” (TBA). Expect the same pattern (shorter weekdays, longer weekends), but check before you go. There is early group entry from 10:00 on 10 and 20 November, so the park may already have guests when you arrive at 11:00.

Last entry: re-entry is allowed until 45 minutes before closing. Keep your ticket: re-entry needs no stamp, but a lost ticket means no re-entry.

Restaurants: in late October, D-Lounge, Crepe Oji-san and Frame Cafe opened at 11:30. In late October last orders were 18:00 (16:00 food on 24 October), even on 20:00-closing days. Shop and attraction hours from 1 November had not been published on 29 October. Outside food and drink are not allowed, so eat in the park or in DECKS.

What’s on at Joypolis in autumn and winter 2026?

• Happy Halloween JOYPOLIS 2026 (ended): ran 19 September to 31 October 2026, with a Halloween Sonic, decorations and limited menus (event page).
• hololive × JOYPOLIS SHINY PARTY: 16 October to 27 December, the sixth hololive collaboration (event page).
• THE IDOLM@STER SideM in JOYPOLIS 3: 12 September to 6 December (event page).
• 30th anniversary: events rolled out in stages from July 2026 to June 2027 (anniversary page). The operator has said new parks and attractions are planned but has not named them (Norimono News).
• JOYPOLIS SPORTS X: a new XR sports zone that opened on 10 July 2026 on DECKS Island Mall 5F, with 16 games. It is separate from the Passport (¥2,900 adults / ¥2,600 students, 3 hours on weekdays, 2 hours on weekends) (MoguraVR). A combined Joypolis + Sports X ticket is ¥7,500 / ¥7,000, booked in advance (official homepage).

Collaboration weekends draw fans, especially hololive, so expect busier merchandise counters and cafe queues on Saturdays and Sundays until late December.

How do you get to Tokyo Joypolis?

Joypolis is in DECKS Tokyo Beach, the ship-themed mall facing Odaiba Seaside Park (official access page).

• Yurikamome Line to Odaiba-kaihinkoen Station (U-06), about 2 minutes on foot. Follow the signs for DECKS along the raised walkway. From Shimbashi it takes about 13 minutes; from Tokyo Station about 23 minutes with a change at Shimbashi.
• Rinkai Line to Tokyo Teleport Station, about 5 minutes on foot. JR Saikyo Line trains run through, so it’s about 18 minutes from Shibuya, 23 from Shinjuku and 29 from Ikebukuro with no change on through trains.
• Bus: Odaiba Rainbow Bus (KM Bus) from Shinagawa Station Konan (east) exit or Tamachi stops at Daiba 2-chome, right in front of Joypolis. Toei buses Umi 01 (from Monzen-nakacho) and Nami 01 (from Shinagawa) also stop at Daiba 2-chome.
• From Haneda: Airport Limousine Bus to Hilton Tokyo Odaiba or Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba, both a short walk away.
• Car: DECKS car park, entrance on the Aqua City side. Weekdays ¥300 per 30 min (¥1,500 daily cap); weekends ¥400 per 30 min with no cap. Joypolis tickets of ¥3,000+ bought that day get 2 hours free on weekdays (1 hour at weekends); ¥5,000+ gets 4 hours (2 at weekends). Claim at the park’s 1st-floor Information Counter or JP STORE, with your parking ticket and that day’s Joypolis receipt.

Both lines take Suica and PASMO. See our IC card guide. Some guides say Joypolis is “2 minutes from Shimbashi”. It isn’t: that’s the Yurikamome ride’s starting point, 13 minutes away.

How long do you need at Tokyo Joypolis?

Allow 3–5 hours with a Passport. Our suggested plan for a weekday:

• Opening (10:00 or 11:00): Halfpipe Tokyo, then Gekion Live Coaster, then Storm G while queues are short.
• +1 hour: Transformers, House of the Dead, Wild River and the other simulators on 2F and 3F.
• 12:30–13:00: On weekdays, Sadako, Murder Lodge and Ace Attorney open; eat at D-Lounge (opens 11:30) before the lunch peak.
• Afternoon: Repeat the favourites, then Attack on Titan or Murder Lodge.
• Late afternoon: Out to the DECKS terrace for Rainbow Bridge at sunset (about 16:30–16:45 in November and December).

On an entry-only ticket with two or three rides, 1–2 hours is enough.

When is the best time to visit Joypolis?

Weekday mornings, outside Japanese school holidays. Weekends and public holidays are the busiest, and so are rainy days, since Joypolis is everyone’s plan B. Waits of 40–60 minutes for the big rides are common later on busy days, according to Klook reviews.

Holidays to avoid in late 2026: 3 November (Culture Day) and 23 November (Labour Thanksgiving Day), plus the winter school break from about 25 December.

The park has no outdoor rides, so weather never closes it. Rain just makes it busier.

Rules, what to wear and what to bring

• Clothing: the park publishes no dress code, but wear trainers, not sandals or heels, and avoid skirts on the spinning rides. A hair tie helps on Halfpipe.
• Loose items: pockets empty on thrill rides, and follow staff instructions on where bags go. The park takes no responsibility for lost or damaged belongings.
• No photos inside attractions. Photography inside the rides is banned. The rest of the park is fine.
• No outside food or drink.
• Health: several rides exclude pregnant visitors and people with heart or back conditions; check the restriction table on the attractions page.
• Language: mostly Japanese. Ride instructions are visual; story attractions aren’t.

Joypolis vs teamLab, LEGOLAND and other rainy-day options

Option	Where	Price (adult)	Best for
Tokyo Joypolis	DECKS, Odaiba	¥1,700 entry / ¥6,000 Passport	Teens, gamers, thrill rides
LEGOLAND Discovery Center Tokyo	DECKS 3F, same building	Varies by date	Kids roughly 3–10; adults can’t enter without a child
teamLab Planets	Toyosu (Shin-toyosu Station, Yurikamome)	From about ¥3,800 (date-based), timed slot	Photography, couples, art
Madame Tussauds / Tokyo Trick Art Museum	DECKS	Varies	Quick photo stops

teamLab Planets is not in Odaiba. It’s in Toyosu, near the far end of the same Yurikamome line, about 15–18 minutes from Odaiba-kaihinkoen. teamLab Borderless left Odaiba in 2022 and is now at Azabudai Hills, so ignore any guide that tells you to walk there from Joypolis. Our teamLab Tokyo tickets guide compares both. For more ideas, see our rainy day Tokyo guide.

What to do near Tokyo Joypolis

• Odaiba Seaside Park and Rainbow Bridge: steps from the DECKS terrace. Free, and best at dusk.
• Statue of Liberty replica: in front of Aqua City, 3 minutes’ walk.
• Tokyo Aqua Symphony: a large fountain show in Odaiba Marine Park, about 10 minutes long, on the hour from 11:00 to 21:00 (no 16:00 show). Check tokyo-odaiba.net for the current schedule and weather cancellations.
• Daiba Itchome Shotengai and the Takoyaki Museum: retro Showa-era arcade street and a takoyaki food court, both inside DECKS.
• The Unicorn Gundam is gone. The life-size statue at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza ended its public display at the end of August 2026 (Tokyo Weekender), and no replacement has been announced. Many guides still list it.
• VenusFort is closed (shut in 2022), despite what older guides say.

Travelling with children? Our Japan with kids guide has more ideas.

Conclusion

Book the full-day Passport online for ¥5,700, arrive at opening on a weekday and ride Halfpipe Tokyo, Gekion and Storm G before the queues build. Check the official calendar for December hours, then finish on the DECKS terrace at sunset. To plan the rest of your Tokyo trip, explore Japan Pro.
