Tokyo One Piece Tower was an indoor theme park for the popular Japanese manga series, One Piece. It opened on March 13, 2015 inside Tokyo Tower. After its opening, it underwent a partial renovation and reopened on June 18, 2016. It offered several games and attractions based on characters of the Straw Hat Crew from One Piece, entertainment shows, merchandise shops and themed restaurants, and seasonal events and campaigns.
The park closed permanently on July 31, 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its management.
Concept and history
The park was themed as Tongari Island (トンガリ島) in the New World; after the Straw Hat Crew landed there, they created games and attractions for their fans with the islanders. The island's leader is Tongari Den Den Mushi who frequently appeared as the guide in some attractions and the website. Tongari (トンガリ) means "pointed" or "sharp" in Japanese and it refers to the shape of Tokyo Tower.
In 2016, it ranked 7th in TripAdvisor 2016 Traveler's Choice Top 10 Amusement Parks in the Japan region.
