Seibu Yuenchi — the amusement park in Tokorozawa, Saitama — issued this 10 Seibuen note as part of its own internal scrip system, a novelty currency usable only within the park grounds. The denomination "Seibuen" is a pun on the park's name and the Japanese word for yen, a piece of wordplay that was central to the marketing concept rather than incidental to it.
The park underwent a major renovation and partial rebrand in 2021, and this scrip was introduced alongside that reopening — part theme park, part nostalgia project deliberately evoking Showa-era aesthetics.
