About Funabashi Andersen Park ― how to enjoy a walk
A large theme park run by Funabashi City, sister city to Hans Christian Andersen’s hometown of Odense. Consistently ranked among the top "Best theme parks in Japan, by kids".

Smoking rules and things to watch around Funabashi Andersen Park
Tourist areas across Chiba have widely adopted street-smoking bans, with fines for violations. Indoors, the revised Health Promotion Act mandates smoke-free environments by default; smokers must use a designated smoking room, a heated-tobacco-only room, or an outdoor designated smoking spot.
The park is entirely non-smoking as a children’s facility. There are no designated spots inside; smoke at the parking lot or near Misaki Station before entering.
How to find smoking areas near Funabashi Andersen Park
- Check designated smoking areas inside or in front of major stations first
- Use indoor smoking rooms in large shopping complexes, department stores, and airports — weather-proof and reliable
- Heated-tobacco-only rooms sometimes allow eating and drinking; filter by your device type
- Carry a portable ashtray and never smoke on the street if no designated area is available
