Mt. Hiei Amusement Park was an amusement part that used to be at Mt. Hiei in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture.
Summary
It opened in 1959. The amusement part included a haunted house, a viewing platform, a small-sized Ferris wheel, an alpine botanical garden and Mt. Hiei artificial ski slopes.
