Yamanashi: Fuji-Q Highland E-Ticket

I'm not sure why Fuji-Q is getting so many one-star ratings because my experience was so good!! I booked my ticket through klook as I was on the car ride to Fuji-Q because I wanted to make sure that the weather will be good and that the thrill rides are open. The booking process was so easy and straightforward--pay through the app and get the QR code instantly. From there you just present the QR code to the person right before security where they will give you a physical ticket which you use to pass through the facial recognition registration gate. From there, you'll just use the facial recognition to enter the rides. Super simple. Went there on a Sunday in winter, and to our surprise, there were very short queues. We didn't get any priority passes anymore since the wait times for the thrill rides were 20-40 mins. The only downside about going in winter are: 1. Rides suddenly close due to strong winds and low temperatures. We were still able to ride Fujiyama then noticed they stopped the ride due to winds an hour later and never reopened within the day. 2. COLD. It was like being blasted with freezing winds on your face, and my feet were numb after Eejenaika since shoes are taken off. But hey I rode them multiple times so I'm not complaining. There were absolutely no queues for food which was a relief after experiencing a hell of a queue just for a box of pizza at USJ. We ate the pork cutlet and yakisoba and it was so good. We went inside Starbucks to warm ourselves after rides and even that didn't have any queues. Overall, i had such a great, great time and 10/10 I will go back again in the winter time.

I have visited many amusement parks and this is the most civilised.We were lucky to be staying in the Highland resort next door so got discounted day passes and the magical 30 mins to ride the biggest coasters before a queue formed.Staff were lovely and the safety checks thorough( necessary when you have the tallest coaster at 72 metres and another with the steepest descent at 121 degrees). The young Japanese crowd visiting were well mannered and we saw no running or queue hopping but they really excelled at screaming! With the day pass and the flawless face recognition you can come and go which was useful when a storm arrived in the afternoon
