Cool Summer Adventure Debut at Thomas Land in 2026!

Thomas Land, Japan's only outdoor Thomas & Friends theme park located within the free-entry Fuji-Q Highland (Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture), will host the 'Thomas Land SUMMER ADVENTURE' event from July 18, 2026 (Sat) to August 31, 2026 (Mon).

This year's theme is a summer adventure, transforming Thomas Land into the perfect stage for young children's first adventure experience. The park will be decorated with crystal and adventure-themed designs, and mist effects will be used throughout the area to create a cool environment, ensuring families can comfortably enjoy their summer outings even under the strong sun.

The highlight of the event is the family-friendly 'Crystal Hunt Rally.' Armed with an adventure map and a special Thomas Land-branded bag featuring an original neck strap, guests will search the park for hidden crystals. Those who find all the crystals will receive a 'Super-Duper Big Adventure Club' sticker—a rewarding experience designed to give even the youngest children a sense of achievement, perfect for creating lasting family memories.

On weekends, the popular show 'Thomas Land PLAY ON! ~Super-Duper Big Adventure Ver.~' will be performed. After dancing and playing energetically with Thomas and friends, the show ends with a refreshing burst of cool mist—an exhilarating summer-exclusive finale.

To ensure a comfortable experience even on hot days, 'Cool Down Time' will be held twice daily. Free drinking water will be distributed, and guests bringing the event-exclusive 'Original Cool Neck Towel' will receive a special cooling pack, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for families with young children.

This summer, join Thomas and friends for a cool, fun, and memorable first adventure experience. We invite you and your family to make unforgettable summer memories at Thomas Land.
