List of amusement parks and theme parks in Mie Prefecture. Listed by region.

Kuwana : Nagashima Spa Land
One of the only major amusement parks in Japan, complete with the world's longest metal roller coaster, a water park, and a huge outlet shopping mall. Without a doubt the best in not just the prefecture but the entire Tōkai region. Don't miss this one if you like amusement parks.

Kuwana : Nabana no Sato
A theme park on the island of Nagashima (near the above-listed Spa Land) that focuses on the beauty of nature, particularly flowers. During winter it has one of the most impressive light displays in all of Japan. Also has a proper beer hall.

Suzuka : Suzuka Circuit
Small park with just a few rides located next to the race track of the same name. You actually have to go in the amusement park to get to the race track. Said to have been built to entertain the wives and children of men wanting to watch the races.

None listed

Ise : Edo Wonderland
Theme park directed at Japanese history-loving children in Futami
Shima : Shima Spain Village
Spain-themed park in Shima (Isobe) with a few rides and lots of Spanish-themed things all around. Kind of caters to children, but is supposed to have some big flamenco dancing competitions every year.

None listed

None listed

Tokyo : Tokyo Disney Land
Arguably the most popular destination in Japan, and hence also known as the most crowded place in Japan. Dream of junior high school girls everywhere.
Yamanashi : Fuji-Q Highlands
The "Cedar Point" of Japan, it is considered the country's premier ride-based amusement park (not counting theme parks like Disney Land and USJ)...it is probably the only one that tops Nagashima Spa Land. Located west of Tokyo, near the Fuji Five Lakes at the base of Fuji-san. Has some very notable ride and the best roller coasters in Japan.
Osaka : Universal Studios Japan (USJ)
Main theme park in the Kansai area, and second in popularity nationwide behind TDL. Very convincing "copy" of Universal Studios Orlando.
