Fuji-Q Highland crowd forecast summary: September–November 2026
Once Japanese summer break ends, Fuji-Q Highland moves into one of the easiest stretches of the whole year.
You can read that straight off the official ticket prices. For September and October, the One-Day Pass (an all-day ride pass) is ¥7,600 (approx. $51 USD) for adults on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and ¥7,900 (approx. $53 USD) from Friday through Monday.
In other words, the park is telling you in yen which days it expects to be quieter.
There’s a catch in those cheap weekdays, though. The scheduled maintenance closures for the big coasters are stacked onto exactly those Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Tuesday, September 1 is a FUJIYAMA closure day; Wednesday, September 2 is an Eejanaika closure day. You can pick the quiet day and still find the one ride you came for standing still.
So choosing dates across these three months comes down to a trade-off: take the cheaper day, or take the ride you want.
This page is built from 24 months of crowd-calendar data we compile ourselves — the last 12 months plus the next 12 — together with Fuji-Q Highland’s official operating hours, price tables and closure information.
September 2026 crowd trend
September’s easier days lean clearly toward Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On our forecast, the quiet days sit on Tuesdays and Wednesdays through the month, from the first week to the last.
Those weekdays are also days when the official One-Day Pass is set at ¥7,600 (approx. $51 USD) for adults. Forecast and price point the same way, which makes them easy calls.
The dates to brace for are the five-day run from Saturday, September 19 to Wednesday, September 23 (Autumnal Equinox Day).
Look at the official hours: Sunday, September 20; Monday, September 21 (Respect for the Aged Day); and Tuesday, September 22 (a Citizens’ Holiday, the bridge day between two holidays) all open at 8:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM. Normal hours are 9:00 AM–7:00 PM, so the park is adding three hours across the day.
Read that as the park itself expecting these five days to be the busiest of the autumn. Saturday, September 19 is also extended, at 9:00 AM–9:00 PM, and the whole period is priced at ¥7,900 (approx. $53 USD).
On our forecast, the busier days in September are the five-day holiday run around Respect for the Aged Day and the Sundays — September is a month where the Sundays line up as peaks. If you go on a weekend, Saturday can be the easier pick.
The summer programme wraps on Sunday, September 27. FUJIYAMA OPEN AIR THEATER, the extended hours for the Senritsu Meikyu haunted attraction, and the summer event with the water-play tower are all scheduled to finish that day.
Going the other way, Thomas Land switches to its Halloween setup from Saturday, September 12. Summer and autumn change places inside the same month.
October 2026 crowd trend
October runs the Scream & Anniversary Campaign “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY” (Part 2) from Thursday, October 1 through Sunday, November 1. It marks the anniversaries of the three flagship coasters, so expect more visitors coming specifically for the thrill rides.
Prices follow the same pattern as September: ¥7,600 (approx. $51 USD) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, ¥7,900 (approx. $53 USD) otherwise.
In October, too, our forecast lines the quiet days up on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from the first half of the month through to the end. If you can take a weekday off, planning around a Tuesday or Wednesday keeps things simple.
Those two weekdays are ¥7,600 days as well. October is the month where “quiet on our forecast” and “cheap officially” simply overlap, which makes it the easiest month to choose in.
Tuesday, October 13 is the exception. It’s a Tuesday, but it lands right after the three-day weekend, and the official price sits on the higher side at ¥7,900. Picking it just because it’s a Tuesday would miss.
On our forecast, October’s busier days are the Sports Day three-day weekend and the Mondays that follow a weekend. Where September peaked on Sundays, October tips toward Mondays, so Tuesday to Thursday is the easier weekday pick.
Separately, two big one-off events are worth noting. Saturday, October 10 brings Kyo-FES!! IN Fuji-Q Highland ~supported by Kimi ni ZOKKON~, and Sunday, October 25 brings the Fischer’s event “We’re Coming to See You! National Tour.”
Both days can draw a crowd for the event itself. If the coasters are your goal, leaving those two out makes for an easier visit.
Then Saturday, October 31 is Halloween itself. Thomas Land’s costume parade and trick-or-treat, plus FUJI-Q×PORTA HALLOWEEN DANCE PARTY 2026, all land on the same day.
If you’re bringing children for Halloween, the date you choose changes what you actually get to see.
Operating hours are 9:00 AM–8:00 PM on October 10, 11, 17 and 31, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM on October 3 and 24, and 9:00 AM–7:00 PM on every other day.
October 3 and 24 are Saturdays that close early, so if you want to stay into the evening, pick one of the 8:00 PM days.
November 2026 crowd trend
November has the best chance of being the quietest of the three months, and the reason is Sunday, November 1.
The Part 2 anniversary campaign, Thomas Land’s Halloween and the Halloween dance event are all scheduled to end that day. As of now, nothing new has been announced officially for Monday, November 2 onward.
On our forecast, November weekdays differ only a little from one another, and the quiet days line up on weekdays, especially Mondays through Wednesdays.
The busy days are the weekends. Sunday, November 1 leads, followed by the Saturdays on the 7th and 14th and the Sundays on the 22nd and 29th.
Bear in mind that November prices have not been announced officially yet. Prices move the crowd forecast, so it’s safest to check which weekdays are the picks once the November price table is published.
Operating hours shorten in stages through the month. Up to Monday, November 23 (Labor Thanksgiving Day) the park closes at 7:00 or 8:00 PM; from Tuesday, November 24 to Sunday, November 29 it closes at 6:00 PM; and on Monday, November 30 it runs 10:00 AM–5:00 PM.
November 30 is the shortest operating day across these three months. If your plan is to cover the park in one day, that’s the date to avoid.
Note as well that, as of August 20, 2026, neither the November One-Day Pass prices nor the November maintenance closures have been announced officially. Prices are one of the inputs to our forecast, so the levels may move once they’re published.
Week-by-week crowd forecast for September 2026
Working out the week-by-week pattern in advance makes it easier to dodge the peaks in crowds, events and prices alike.
From here we go through September week by week, tracking prices, maintenance closures and event changeovers by date.
Tuesday, September 1 – Sunday, September 6
The first week after summer break. Tuesday, September 1; Wednesday, September 2; and Thursday, September 3 are all ¥7,600 (approx. $51 USD), which makes for a workable run by the month’s standards.
Those same three days carry maintenance closures, though: FUJIYAMA on September 1, Eejanaika on September 2, and the Ferris wheel on September 3.
Saturday, September 5 runs 9:00 AM–8:00 PM. The summer event at NARUTO × BORUTO Fuji Konohagakure no Sato is scheduled to end on Sunday, September 6.
Monday, September 7 – Sunday, September 13
Tuesday, September 8; Wednesday, September 9; and Thursday, September 10 are the ¥7,600 days this week. ZOKKON is scheduled to be closed on September 9, so pick another day if the motorbike-style ride is what you’re after.
Saturday, September 12 is when Thomas Land’s Halloween opens, and hours extend to 8:00 PM. If you’re visiting with small children, it gets more rewarding from this day on.
Monday, September 14 – Sunday, September 20
Tuesday, September 15; Wednesday, September 16; and Thursday, September 17 are ¥7,600 — the last lower-price weekdays before the five-day run.
The air changes from Saturday, September 19. Hours extend to 9:00 AM–9:00 PM, and the “Japan Self-Defense Forces + School Wind Bands: Yamanashi Session!” event takes place that day.
Sunday, September 20 opens at 8:00 AM. The queue at the gates builds from early on, so if you’re driving, allow for traffic.
Monday, September 21 – Sunday, September 27
The back half of the five-day run overlaps the final week of the summer programme. Monday, September 21 (Respect for the Aged Day) and Tuesday, September 22 (a Citizens’ Holiday) run 8:00 AM–9:00 PM, and Wednesday, September 23 (Autumnal Equinox Day) runs 8:00 AM–7:00 PM.
Every day this week is ¥7,900 (approx. $53 USD) — not one discounted day in it. Crowds and prices are both high together, which makes it the toughest week of the month.
Sunday, September 27 is the scheduled last day for FUJIYAMA OPEN AIR THEATER, the extended hours at the Senritsu Meikyu haunted attraction, and the summer event with the water-play tower. If you want the summer version of Fuji-Q Highland, this is your final chance.
Monday, September 28 – Wednesday, September 30
Tuesday, September 29 and Wednesday, September 30 drop back to ¥7,600 (approx. $51 USD). The long-weekend fatigue has passed, and these are September’s last lower-price weekdays.
That said, Tekkotsuban-cho is scheduled to be closed on Monday, September 28, and Takabisha on Wednesday, September 30. If Takabisha is your priority, shifting the trip to October is a fair call.
Events & closures for autumn 2026 (September–November)
Here is the officially announced line-up, with dates.
- FUJIYAMA OPEN AIR THEATER in FUJI-Q HIGHLAND: through Sunday, September 27, 2026 / evening outdoor movie screenings at Central Park
- Senritsu Meikyu special hours: through Sunday, September 27, 2026 / a film tie-in with one extra hour of operation
- Summer event with the water-play tower: through Sunday, September 27, 2026
- Uchiha Summer 2026: through Sunday, September 6, 2026 / the summer event at NARUTO × BORUTO Fuji Konohagakure no Sato
- Fuji-Q Chilled Noodle Fair: through Wednesday, September 30, 2026
- Thomas Land HALLOWEEN PARTY!: Saturday, September 12 – Sunday, November 1, 2026
- Japan Self-Defense Forces + School Wind Bands: Yamanashi Session!: Saturday, September 19, 2026
- Scream & Anniversary Campaign “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY” (Part 2): Thursday, October 1 – Sunday, November 1, 2026
- Kyo-FES!! IN Fuji-Q Highland ~supported by Kimi ni ZOKKON~: Saturday, October 10, 2026
- Fischer’s event “We’re Coming to See You! National Tour”: Sunday, October 25, 2026
- FUJI-Q×PORTA HALLOWEEN DANCE PARTY 2026: Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1, 2026
Laid out like that, one thing stands out: the autumn events all finish together on Sunday, November 1. As of August 20, 2026, nothing has been announced for Monday, November 2 onward.
On closures, the first one to know about is the Red Tower. The official site states that it is closed for the time being because of the Cool Japan demolition work. No reopening date has been announced.
Beyond that, the maintenance closures for the big coasters are published with dates on the official schedule. September is set as follows.
- Tuesday, September 1: FUJIYAMA
- Wednesday, September 2: Eejanaika
- Wednesday, September 9: ZOKKON
- Monday, September 28: Tekkotsuban-cho
- Wednesday, September 30: Takabisha
October follows the same shape.
- Tuesday, October 6: FUJIYAMA
- Wednesday, October 7: Eejanaika
- Thursday, October 8: Takabisha
- Thursday, October 15: ZOKKON
- Thursday, October 29: Tekkotsuban-cho
- Monday, October 19 – Sunday, October 25: Nagashimasuka (seven consecutive days)
You can see each of the four headline coasters taking one weekday per month, in turn. And those weekdays are the same ones that carry the lower price.
November’s closure schedule is listed as “to be published once decided,” and was still unannounced as of August 20, 2026.
The big coasters also close on the day for weather — strong wind or lightning. This is a park at the foot of a mountain, so wind affects it more than it would on flat ground. For same-day ride status, the official app is the reliable check.
When to book your hotel: timing & plan trends
Fuji-Q Highland sits in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, which makes it easy to pair with the hot-spring inns and family hotels around Lake Kawaguchi and the Fuji Five Lakes. Highland Resort Hotel & Spa, right next to the park, gives you the shortest possible transfer.
The reason to stay over in autumn isn’t heat — it’s the cold mornings and the opening times. September 20 to 22 open at 8:00 AM, while November 30 opens at 10:00: nearly three hours apart depending on when you go.
The dates when rooms tighten are the five-day run from September 19 to 23 and the three-day weekend from October 10 to 12. Lakeside inns fill up early for both, so compare one to two months ahead to be safe.
From November 2 onward, by contrast, the park sits between events, and both rooms and tickets get easier to find. If you want to take your time, that’s the window.

Checking heat precautions, transport plans and the crowd peaks in advance makes the day-of decisions much easier.
Early September still carries real heat. The elevation helps, but assume you’ll need a plan for daytime queuing right through the month.
From October it flips: the mornings and evenings bite. Whether you packed one extra layer decides how the last hour before closing feels.

How to read this calendar
Fuji-Q Highland’s crowd forecast is shown on a 1–7 scale (lower = quieter). Tap any date for the weather, temperature, scheduled events and estimated wait times for the main attractions.
Past dates show recorded wait times. Future dates are forecasts, so they can move with weather, events, ticket availability, closure updates and hotel demand.
The more coasters you want to ride, the more a low-level day is worth choosing.
How the forecast works
We combine the official monthly schedule, historical crowd patterns, the wait times we record ourselves, the forecast for the Fujiyoshida area, Japanese school-break patterns, and event information.
The official ticket price is one of the inputs too, because a day priced higher is a day the park expects to be in demand.
How well the forecast is doing is published as an accuracy score at the top of the calendar — misses included, exactly as they land.
Note: the crowd outlook on this page is our own forecast and is not a guarantee of actual conditions. For operating hours, prices, events and closures, Fuji-Q Highland’s official announcements are authoritative.
FAQ
Q. How often is the data updated?
A. Real wait times are recorded automatically every day, and the forecast data is refreshed regularly. Event and closure changes are reflected as they come in. The written content on this page was checked against the official site on August 20, 2026.
Q. How many months of the Fuji-Q Highland crowd calendar can I see?
A. 24 months in total — the past 12 and the next 12. That means you can start planning next year’s long weekends and Halloween right now.
Q. When is the One-Day Pass cheapest in autumn?
A. Per the official price table, for both September and October 2026 the adult price is ¥7,600 (approx. $51 USD) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and ¥7,900 (approx. $53 USD) from Friday through Monday. The one exception is the five-day run from September 19 to 23, which is ¥7,900 on every day.
Q. If I pick a quiet weekday, can I ride all the coasters?

Q. Is the Red Tower running?
A. No. The official site states that it is closed for the time being because of the Cool Japan demolition work. No reopening date has been announced.
Q. When will November’s prices and closures be known?
A. As of August 20, 2026 they had not been announced. They are published month by month on Fuji-Q Highland’s official tickets and pricing page and its operating hours and schedule page.
Q. If I pick a low-level day, will the waits be shorter?
A. They tend to be — that’s the guide. But even on lower-level days the popular coasters, seasonal events and the food court can still get busy. Riding the headline coasters first thing in the morning works on any level of day.
