Local Gourmet Festival

Take a break from riding the roller coasters and indulge in some local specialities at Yomiuri Land's yearly Golden Week event, taking place over a period of 11 days this year. More than 40 food varieties (including eternal favourites like yakisoba and ramen) and around 20 ji-biiru (local beers) will be on offer, while performers will keep hungry visitors entertained with dances like awa-odori and Aomori's nebuta. Just remember – no bungee jumping with a full stomach.
