Fuji-Q Highland hosts Japan’s longest-running outdoor cinema event, screening 30 films over three months in its Central Park area.
What to expect
There will be classic movies, recent Oscar winners, and popular animated films, all screened in a scenic setting with Mount Fuji in the background.
Schedule
Each day of the week follows a theme: Family-friendly films on Fridays, long-form blockbusters on Saturdays, and R12-rated films for adults on Sundays.
Special events will take place from August 1 to 3 with a summer theme, and again on October 31 for Halloween.
Screenings start at 7 p.m. in August and 6 p.m. from September through November. There will be no screenings on October 25 or November 1.
Tickets
Admission to the outdoor cinema is free, and entry to Fuji-Q Highland itself is also free. If you’d like to enjoy the park’s rides and attractions, you can pay for them ride-by-ride or buy a one-day pass. Prices range from ¥6,000 to ¥7,800 for adults, depending on the day.
