What is Nagashima Resort?

Nagashima Resort is a sprawling leisure complex on a long island surrounded by rivers and the sea, hence the name Nagashima (which means “long island”). It features five main facilities:

Main Attractions

Nagashima Spaland

The resort's highlight is Nagashima Spaland, known as one of western Japan’s best amusement parks for roller coasters. With over 40 rides ranging from gentle kids’ attractions to thrilling roller coasters like the massive Steel Dragon 2000, there’s something for everyone.

Joyful Waterpark

Open only in summer, this water park has numerous water slides, swimming pools, and a wave pool, offering a refreshing break during the hot months.

Nagashima Spa Yuami no Shima

Relax in beautifully designed indoor and outdoor hot springs with themes inspired by natural Japanese landscapes like Kurobe Gorge and Oirase Stream. The spa also offers jacuzzis, saunas, massages, and dining options.

Mitsui Outlet Park Jazz Dream Nagashima

Shop at over 300 stores including international brands, sports shops, and boutiques. It’s right next to Nagashima Spaland, making it easy to combine shopping with fun.
