A nostalgic world spreads out.
Rooftop amusement park in Nagoya Matsuzakaya

Such a little-known spot!

Rooftop amusement parks are now said to be in sharp decline nationwide. Many people may not even know that there are amusement facilities on the rooftops of department stores. For such people, rooftop amusement parks are a source of nostalgia. Currently, only two locations in Nagoya City, Mitsukoshi Department Store and Matsuzakaya Department Store, operate rooftop amusement parks.

The rooftop amusement park in Nagoya Matsuzakaya is full of retro rides and games. There are many vehicles such as Anpanman, Thomas, trains and planes.

The medal game is also quite fulfilling. It's inside a tent, so you can enjoy it even when it rains!

Please enjoy the nostalgic rides and retro atmosphere.

"Nagoya Sakae Mitsukoshi" with Japan's Oldest Rooftop Ferris Wheel

"Nagoya Mitsukoshi Sakae" in Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya has Japan's oldest rooftop Ferris wheel. Since its appearance in 1956, it has entertained many children. The oldest Ferris wheel is currently not in operation, so it can only be viewed.

There are only two existing department stores with a Ferris wheel: Tokyu Plaza Kamata in Tokyo and Sakae Mitsukoshi in Nagoya.

What's this? There is a statue of a mysterious kangaroo parent and child.

Upon research, it seems that it used to be the symbol of Mitsukoshi in the past. The symbol of Mitsukoshi is a lion, but in the past, a statue of a kangaroo was placed there, and it was a meeting spot.

Although it is small, there is also a slightly retro game corner.
Rooftop amusement parks themselves are becoming rare nationwide, and even in Nagoya, there are only two stores, "Nagoya Sakae Mitsukoshi" and "Matsuzakaya Nagoya".

Please visit the rooftop amusement park beside shopping!
