Impressions of Greenland, an abandoned amusement park in Fukushima, Japan.

I seem to have an eye for old, abandoned places. While driving around in the North of Japan, I noticed a rollercoaster and a ferriswheel 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.
