Tokyo One Piece Tower

Lore & Background

The park was conceived as Tongari Island, a location in the One Piece world's New World. After the Straw Hat Crew landed there, they supposedly created games and attractions with the islanders. The island's leader was Tongari Den Den Mushi, who appeared as a guide in attractions and on the website. The name 'Tongari' means 'pointed' or 'sharp' in Japanese, referring to the shape of Tokyo Tower. After its initial opening, the park underwent a partial renovation and reopened on June 18, 2016.
