For thrill seekers, nothing can beat a day at a theme park. But sadly, from time to time bad weather can put a damper on your fun.

In Tokyo, the city of possibilities, even this eventuality is covered. Sega Joypolis in Odaiba is one of Japan’s biggest indoor amusement parks, come rain or shine you can enjoy any of their attractions.

Joypolis is like something in between an amusement park and a game centre, with a roller coaster, thrill rides, haunted houses and VR experiences, as well as all the usual games you can find in a Japanese arcade.

Truthfully, it doesn’t have all the thrills of a big, outdoor theme park. The rides are predictably smaller and less in number. However, the attractions they do have are high quality, the price is much cheaper, and how could we forget, the perk of not being subjected to the elements.

Keeping with the theme of arcade games, even the rides have a competitive element to them. On the 'Half-pipe' you can win by completing more spins than the other riders, and the 'Gekion Live Coaster' is a roller coaster and rhythm action mash up.

In the Biohazard haunted house it’s possible to win the walk-through game by surviving until the end, but as the staff informed me on the way in (before setting vicious zombies on me), there’s only about a 12% chance of that happening.

Apart from the myriad rides and games, there’s a stage for virtual performances by animated idols and bizarre little activities to take part in. Like putting your face on a manatee’s face for example. By the way, if the phone rings as you walk past it, pick it up.

It’s easy to spend a whole day within the neon confines of Joypolis. There’s cafés and restaurants selling classic favourites like ‘shaked potato’ and ‘frankfurter on the bone’. Who could say no to that?

The view from the restaurant of the Rainbow Bridge is also pretty cool.

All day passport tickets cost 4300 yen with rides included. If you think you will only ride a few attractions, entrance only is 800 yen with individual prices for rides ranging from 500 to 800 yen. A discount for tourists is also offered, showing your passport will get you 300 yen off admission to the park. There's also discounts for going to the park later in day. A full list of prices can be found on the website.
