Basics
- Fee:Children are charged from age three. A free pass includes admission; with an admission ticket alone, most rides cost ¥500-600 each, and from seven rides the free pass works out cheaper. The bus-and-pass page lists the one-day free pass at ¥4,700 for adults and ¥4,400 for children. Showing a disability or rehabilitation certificate gets the holder and one adult companion a half-price free pass and free admission. A prefecture-issued child-raising support passport, shown before paying, brings a food voucher worth ¥100 with an admission ticket or ¥300 with a free pass, for up to five people (city- or town-issued ones do not count).■
- Hours:Opening days and hours are set by the park's operating calendar. The car park opens an hour before the park does.■
- Booking:Tickets are bought on the day at the gate. The only advance option is an online ticket, set for weekends and public holidays up to October, paid by credit card or PayPay; online buyers do not get the food voucher given at the desk. Groups of eight or more paying cash get the group rate.■Official booking site ↗

The park sits in Kaminoyama, Yamagata, its name made from light, nature, wind and water. The Hello Kitty Ferris wheel was the first in Japan, and there are Sanrio character teacups to spin in and a two-tier carousel. A cycle monorail runs 220 metres through the air, and a walk-through maze has climbing frames built into it. The Child Corner gathers coin-operated rides, including a small train for one adult and one child.

| Indoor / outdoor | Indoor & outdoor | An outdoor park, but the map has a 'covered rides' category, and the event hall is heated and air-conditioned with room for 400. | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | linaworld.co.jp |
| Best-fit ages (guide)Extra info — guide only | Yes | Charging starts at age three. About ten rides take children up to age two, with a parent riding along as a rule. Some rides have age or height limits that rule small children out; the limits for each ride are on a separate page not read here. The map has a 'for kids' filter, and the Child Corner collects coin-operated rides. | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | linaworld.co.jp |
| Stroller access notesExtra info — guide only | Yes | The nearest station is Kaminoyama-Onsen. Buses stop at Lina World-mae on the Route 13 bypass, or Kanagame-minami on prefectural road 267. A Lina Bus Set combines a return bus ticket from Yamagata (¥1,080 adult, ¥540 child) with the one-day free pass. The car park opens an hour before the park and has no toilets, so go before you arrive. Re-entry is allowed for trips back to the car park — show your ticket to staff. Coin lockers take luggage; anything too big is held at the gate for ¥500 a piece. Assistance dogs are welcome, other animals are not, and the park is non-smoking except in the smoking area. | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | linaworld.co.jp |
