The park will be based at a 30,000 square metre site in Nermira, an area around a half-an-hour's train ride outside of central Tokyo and famed as the birthplace of Japanese animation production.
An amusement park called Toshimaen with roller coasters and a water park is currently on the site but is due to close down at the end of this month.
