Seibu-en
Seibu-en (西武園ゆうえんち, Seibuen Yuenchi) is an amusement park located near Tokyo in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture. It is just outside the Seibuen-yūenchi Station, which is also owned and operated by the Seibu Railway. The park underwent a significant expansion and redesign for the 2021 season, focused around a Showa era themed marketplace, a Godzilla motion simulator attraction, and a children's area based on the work of Osamu Tezuka.[2] Currently, an Ultraman attraction is in development for the 2023 season.[3]
