Video Tour of an Abandoned WESTWORLD-Style Wild West Animatronic Theme Park in Japan
One thing I enjoy going doing with my brothers is exploring abandoned ghost towns, mines, and other interesting and cool places that we learn about. I had no idea there was an abandoned Westworld-style wild west animatronic theme park in Japan, but it’s a place I would love to go and see!
Micah Moore of Beat Down Boogie had the opportunity to travel to the city of Nikko in the Tochigi Prefecture of Japan to visit the abandoned Western Village and shared a video tour for those of us who won’t be going to Japan any time soon.
The park was created in 1975, and it ended up closing down in 2007. The remains of this park are actually very eerie and spooky with its animatronic figures, rusting stagecoaches, and western buildings – some of which once housed arcades – still around… rotting. This is a great setting for a horror film!
Westworld in real life! This spooky Old West amusement park in Japan used to be filled with animatronic characters. Most of the buildings are locked up tight these days, with the robot cowboy residents holed up inside.
