Rakutenchi, Amusement park and zoo in Beppu, Japan
Rakutenchi combines traditional rides, animal exhibits, and seasonal attractions across multiple levels on a hillside location overlooking Beppu city.
The park started operations in September 1929 on the site of a former gold and silver mine that ceased operations in 1916.
The park maintains a collection of traditional Japanese games, including the Duck Race competition that has entertained visitors since 1950.
The park operates from 9:30 to 17:00, with access through a cable car system that climbs 260 meters at a 30-degree incline.
The venue houses Japan's only double Ferris wheel structure, providing views of Beppu's cityscape and steam rising from natural hot springs.
