Godzilla the Ride at Seibuen Amusement Park: When It Runs, Tickets and Rules
Seibuen Amusement Park, in Tokorozawa in Saitama Prefecture, shows Godzilla the Ride in the Yuhikan (夕陽館), and it shares the Yuhikan with Ultraman the Ride. The two take turns, and the park’s schedule is in Japanese.

From 9 to 30 November, Ultraman runs in the first half of the day and Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle in the second half (checked 19 October 2026).

Which Ride Runs When: October and November 2026
There are two Godzilla rides. Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle is the first, and Godzilla the Ride: Great Clash is the second. The park’s page for Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle says the Yuhikan shows Godzilla the Ride and Ultraman the Ride in a first half and a second half of the day, that this differs by day, and asks you to check the times and the last entry for your date.
- 26 October to 1 November: Ultraman the Ride all day, with no Godzilla the Ride. Last entry 16:45, or 16:00 with an express ticket
- 2 to 8 November (Godzilla Week): Great Clash from 10:00, last entry 12:45 (11:45 with an express ticket); Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle from 13:30, last entry 16:45 (16:00 with an express ticket). No Ultraman the Ride

The schedule page shows start times for 18 and 25 November as well, but the park’s hours page, in Japanese, lists both days as closed. The schedule we read on 19 October 2026 covered October and November only. Open the schedule again for a date in December.
Godzilla Week: 2 to 8 November 2026
The park also sells a Godzilla Week ticket: the 1-Day Leisure Ticket at the same prices, with a clear file in one of two designs, given at random. The release says it is sold only on Asoview! (アソビュー!), up to 100 a day. The ticket page, in Japanese, says it is for use from 2 to 8 November, that it is on sale from 17:00 on 16 October to 16:00 on 8 November, until 16:00 on the day you use it, and that you collect the clear file at the Kinema shop (キネマ売店) on the day by showing the code in your purchase email or on Asoview!.
The park operator’s press release of 16 October 2026, in Japanese, says Godzilla Week marks the release of the new film Godzilla Minus Zero. GKIDS, which distributes the film in North America, says it opens in Japan on Tuesday 3 November and in North America from Friday 6 November 2026.
The release says Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle was not being shown at the time, and that during Godzilla Week it runs on the same days as Great Clash, each for half of the day. The park is open 10:00–17:00 that week. People who use the ride that week get a sticker with a Godzilla design, until they run out.
Godzilla.com says Takashi Yamazaki, the director of Godzilla Minus One, designed the new Mechagodzilla in Great Clash, and calls Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle his original ride.
Tickets
The park’s FAQ, in Japanese, lists what the 1-Day Leisure Ticket does not cover: the immersive restaurant, Zenitendo The Real (ふしぎ駄菓子屋 銭天堂 ザ・リアル) and the experiences on Yuhi no Engi-dori (夕日の縁日通り). It says the 1-Day Leisure Ticket covers the other attractions, Godzilla the Ride and Ultraman the Ride among them. There is no senior price; adults pay the adult price.
You can buy tickets at the ticket booth in front of the main entrance, from 30 minutes before opening until 1 hour before closing. The ticket page also links to online sales.
The express ticket for Godzilla the Ride costs 1,000 yen and can shorten the wait for that ride, once per person. The ticket page, in Japanese, says some days have no advance sales, and that on those days you buy it on the day.
The park’s English guide page says tickets are non-refundable and cannot be reissued for any reason. The Japanese ticket page says reselling tickets is not allowed and that resold tickets cannot be used.

Before You Go In: Tattoos, Re-entry and Food
The park’s English guide page lists people who are refused entry, and who must leave if they are found after entering. They include “Persons with tattoos (including sticker-type tattoos), body paint, etc.” The Japanese text at the foot of each page adds that in that case the admission and parking fees are not refunded.
The same English page says re-entry is not permitted, and adds: “In case of emergency, please consult with a Friends Crew.”

It lists cash, credit cards, transport IC cards, Rakuten Edy, iD, WAON, QUICpay, nanaco, Rakuten Pay, d Barai, PayPay, auPAY, Merpay, Yucho Pay, Alipay and WeChat Pay, and says some shops may not take all of them.
