Urban Exploration: Explore the Abandoned Amusement Park in Nara
Nara Dreamland was once the most popular amusement park in the Osaka Prefecture. The amusement park encountered a huge competitor when Universal Studio Japan (USJ) entered the market.

The era of Nara Dreamland ended in 2003 because of the loss in business, and the amusement park was eventually shut down permanently.

Nara Dreamland was closed to the general public as it remains the property of the park owner. However, all the facilities in the park were not demolished, but abandoned.

It is interesting for me to see the ruins of the end of an era and see how quickly things can change within a couple of years.
