The most important feature of this amusement park is that it is a place where visitors can experience the nostalgia and novelty of Japan in the 1950s.

The most distinctive feature is the “Sunset Hill Shopping Street,” an area that recreates Japan in the 1950s. In this area, visitors can experience as if they have stepped back in time to a Showa-era town, where old-fashioned candy stores, general merchandise stores, and stores line the streets. Cast members have been assigned to play shopkeepers and townspeople, so visitors can walk through the town as if they were conversing with the residents of that era. The realistic recreation of the streets of this era, as well as the Showa-era style music and lighting, will impress not only children, but also adults, and can be enjoyed by the whole family.

There is a wide variety of attractions, ranging from rides for children to screams. A particularly popular attraction is the amusement park's iconic Ferris wheel, the Seibuen Giant Ferris Wheel. From the height of the Ferris wheel, visitors can see not only the park, but also the surrounding nature and the city in the distance, enjoying the lush green scenery during the day and beautiful illumination at night. There are also many thrilling attractions such as “Let's Go Kart” and “Trolley Coaster,” where parents and children can compete with each other or enjoy the thrill together.

Seibuen Amusement Park also offers a variety of seasonal events. Visitors can enjoy the unique events at the amusement park along with seasonal scenery, such as cherry blossoms in spring, fireworks in summer, autumn leaves in fall, and illumination in winter, so each time you visit, you will encounter a different attraction. The winter illumination events are especially beautiful, as the park is enveloped in a fantastic light that makes you feel as if you are in a dream. The park also offers a variety of nighttime events, such as fireworks displays, which provide a different mood from that of the daytime.

In addition, events in collaboration with cartoon characters are held regularly. Families with young children will have a great time as they can enjoy memorable experiences such as taking pictures with their favorite characters and enjoying character shows.
