Nara Dreamland, Japan
From series “Deserted Places Causing the Feeling of Chill”
In Japan, there is an abandoned Nara Dreamland amusement park, which may also scare many tourists. The opening of the park took place in 1961. It has worked for a little over 30 years and was closed due to lack of funding. A walk in the park gives an impression that it went deserted overnight. All its rides have perfectly preserved after decades. You can find slot machines with toys and a lot of other equipment in old abandoned buildings.
The design of the amusement park is very similar to the California Disneyland. Today, some elements of its scenery look particularly daunting. During the years of desolation, the park destroyed slowly. Trees sprout in many of buildings, and attractions are covered with twine plants and grass. The park is characterized by a huge area. From the day of closing, entrance to the territory is completely prohibited.
