Takakanonuma Greenland is an amusement park in Japan that was just.. straight up abandoned. The internet says that it's been abandoned because of too many "deaths" but I can't find anything more on that. :/ Most sites say that it closed down due to a lack of market. Either way, you would think it would make sense to sell the remaining pieces of the park. As seen below, it looks like there was no effort to sell any of it. Very interesting :)
"There are only a few remaining accounts of Takakanonuma Greenland, and hardly any current photographs. It was a massive amusement park built in the 1970s, but now is overgrown by the forest.
According to most sources, it is not featured on any maps of Japan and is as remote as it is unknown to cartographers. Although it's only 250 km North of Tokyo, it seems much more mysterious, and much of its spotty history is made up of legend and lore.
Built in 1973, the park's first run at the amusement market lasted only two years. Although some say it was closed for repairs, others insist that deaths on the park's equipment forced its closure. Perhaps the park was repaired, or maybe it was long enough for people to forget the amusement accidents, but the park reopened in 1986. Staying alive on its second tenure until 1999, the park closed for good and was abandoned.
Today, the sprawling hills and trees of the surrounding forests seem to have taken over the park, and its grounds are littered with the remnants of its 13-year run as a theme park. However, around 2010 most of the roller coasters were torn down, leaving just the trees to reclaim it all. "
The house is only 4 stories now. An earthquake pretty much ruined it. :/
