An exercise in imagination. Imagine the horse!

Yes, this girl was actually sitting on a horse at the opening show of the days races at a horse race track.

I am always surprised if I see English signs in Japan – especially in the outskirts of Tokyo where probably nobody speaks English at all. But this one outside of a Bowling Hall was just great!

Greenland – An abandoned amusement park in Fukushima, Japan
February 1, 2010 by Juergen Specht · Leave a Comment
Almost to the day 5 years ago while driving around in the North of Japan, I noticed a roller coaster and a ferris wheel on a hill just next to the main street. This was the second time I found an abandoned amusement park by chance.
Greenland was built in 1973 but had to close a short time later. Eventually it reopened in 1986 and closed its doors forever in 1999. Since a removal of all the rides would cost quite a bunch of money, the management decided to let nature do its work, turning Greenland into Rusty-Brownland.
