19. Nara Dreamland

Nara Dreamland was an amusement park inspired by Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It was build in 1961 and closed in 2006, because the lack of visitors. At the height of its success Nara Dreamland welcomed 1.6 million visitors per year, and when it closed, the number was as low as 400 thousand. But instead of trying to sell the place or use the land for something else, they’ve just abandoned it and left it completely as it was. It’s like as if you were in a post-apocalyptic movie: the ticket booths are still standing next to the ride entrances, the carriages still sit on the tracks of the rollercoasers, and even the chairs and the coffee machines are left in the restaurants.
