Legoland Japan Resort (Japanese: レゴランド・ジャパン) is a theme park in Nagoya, Japan. Opening on 1 April 2017,[1] it was the first Legoland theme park in Japan and the second in Asia (after the Legoland Malaysia Resort), and the eighth worldwide.[2] Upon opening, the park was projected to attract over two million visitors every year.[3]
History
[edit]On June 30, 2014, Merlin Entertainments announced plans to open a Legoland Resort in Nagoya.[4] Construction officially began on April 15, 2015.[5] With a budget of USD $250 million, construction was implemented by Art and Project, TAA Group and Tejix.
The nine-hectare (22.24 acre) park is located in Nagoya's Minato Ward and contains seven areas.[6] It has over 40 attractions and uses approximately 17 million bricks.[7] Attractions include Imagination Celebration, completed on March 12, 2017, and Lego-brick cityscapes of places like Tokyo and Nagoya, which were completed on March 17, 2017.[6]
On March 27, 2017, a commemorative Lego-themed train began running on the Nagoya Rinkai Rapid Transit Aonami Line to celebrate the park's opening.[8] The commuter train, named Legoland Train, began daily service on the Aonami Line, traveling from central Nagoya to the new theme park.
Merlin Entertainments announced plans to build a Legoland Hotel and a Sea Life aquarium next to the park in 2018 to help transform the area into a resort, which was expected to cost JPY¥10 billion.[9]
On December 1, 2017, Legoland Hotel began accepting reservations for its grand opening on April 28, 2018.[10] The opening of Sea Life Aquariums was set for April 15, 2018. [11]
On February 28, 2020, the park was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The park reopened on March 23, 2020, with limited services, reduced business hours, mask mandates and mandatory temperature checks.[12][13] Lego Ninjago Live, the Observation Tower, Submarine Adventure, The Coral Reef buffet, and the Knight's Table restaurant were not in operation.
