[6] One famous story from that event is the head of the park pouring water on a young elephant in an unsuccessful attempt to save its life.

In 1939–1940, the park was purchased by the Suda-cho Restaurant (須田町食堂), and the name was changed to Shokudo Yuenchi Asakusa Rakutenchi (食堂遊園地浅草楽天地).

Young people would also gather in large groups in front of the arcade center, causing the park to feel unsafe.

Because of these situations, operators were unable to increase their profits and thus decided to set a general admission fee to make the park safer and more welcoming.

In September 2016, "Bee Tower" was demolished to make room for Asakusa Hana Gekijyou (浅草花劇場), which opened in April 2019.

There is a theater that provides a variety of entertainment, including performances, concerts by popular musicians, and martial arts.
