Suzuka Circuit Park: An Amusement Park that is Fun for the Whole Family
As a huge motor sports fan, I was super excited to visit Suzuka Circuit with my family. This legendary Japanese racetrack is host to the F1 Japanese Grand Prix every October as well as many other international motor sport events. Did you know that next door to the circuit there is a kid-friendly amusement park that is fun for the whole family?

Batto’s Adventure Village
Next, was Batto’s Adventure Village where the theme is adventure. We boarded the Adven Boat Frontier ride with the mission of navigating seven obstacles while trying to reach the goal safely before the boat’s energy ran out. It was certainly challenging to say the least. Luckily there are “power rings” along the way that allow you to restore the boat’s energy.

Other Attractions
Some other attractions that we really enjoyed were the Batto’s Power Crystal Hunt, a laser shooting ride and the Garden Maze Potagenne. This new attraction is a 3D maze full of vegetables and fruits, where you have to navigate your way to the top floor on the fifth level.
