Photo of the Moment: Abandoned Japanese Theme Park
by Mike Richard
There’s something about urban (or in this case suburban) decay that’s so enchanting and mysterious to me.

Yeah that pic/place is awesome. I’m something of abandoned place seeker myself, and am going to Japan quite soon, would i be out line in asking where this place and what it is called, will most definitely stop there.

That is a nice shot.
My friends and I have explored several “haikyo” or abandoned buildings places/urban exploring all over Japan too.
Our latest trip took us to Niigata to see an abandoned Russian Village theme park.

That’s an amazing photo. I lived in Misawa, Japan for 3 years. You can find the coolest places there. Oh and a small correction, if I may, the mountain is called Fuji.
