It is similar to "Cute" when translated into English, but the nuance of "Cute" is slightly different from that of "Kawaii" in Japan as it has a childish feel to it. Since there is no other word that fits the word "Kawaii" exactly, the Japanese word "Kawaii" has come to be used abroad as is. The success of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu was also a catalyst for the popularity of kawaii culture around the world. Recently, BABYMETAL, a band that plays metal music in kawaii fashion, has also become popular overseas, and the number of people from abroad who like kawaii culture may continue to increase in the future.

Surprisingly, this is around the same time as when the Black Ships (1843) came to Japan in the Edo period (1603 to 1868). At first it was a botanical garden, but it gradually expanded in scale and added a zoo, the Asakusa Flower Theater, and other attractions, making it a very popular amusement park that attracted many visitors and was very crowded at its peak. During the Pacific War, the park was forced to temporarily close its doors, sending all of the animals in the park to Sendai. In 1947, it reopened as an amusement park. After the reopening, the park reopened with its current style of ride attractions, including Japan's oldest roller coaster, which can be seen at 0:59 in the video, and Bee Tower, the symbolic tower of Asakusa Hanayashiki, which can be seen at 0:19 in the video. For the longest time, the park did not charge an admission fee, but with the 1985 revision of the Entertainment Establishments Law, they began charging an admission fee. Rides at Asakusa Hanayashiki Source :YouTube screenshot The jet coaster, said to be Japan's oldest roller coaster, is one of Asakusa Hanayashiki's signature thrill rides.
