Tips & Advice
- Buy tickets in advance, because they cost less and same-day sales can be suspended and entry restricted when it gets crowded.
- Book pony riding ahead of time, since it only runs on weekends and holidays for a limited number of groups and costs extra.
- Make sure your date isn't an Oi Racecourse race day or one of the closure weeks, because the illumination doesn't open on those days.
- Take the Tokyo Monorail to Oi Keibajo-mae Station for a two-minute walk, or cycle in, since bicycle parking is free.
- Bring your disability, rehabilitation or atomic bomb survivor certificate to the manned ticket counter to get the welfare discount for yourself and one caregiver.
