When I was 8, 9 years old, my parents told me that there was Ultraman in this place. We took a long trip from Osaka just to get there and the rain became so heavy it had to close. When we got there, even though they closed, they apologized and let us in. They gave us Ultraman toys and goods. It was a kind of unfortunate, but to this day, I still remember this place called Dreamland. Thank you "The Proper People" for this video.
This is classy urban exploration. They don't dick around and do exceedingly dangerous stuff. They don't tag things. They actually offer some history about the place. And this might the first video I've ever seen of the explorers just being friendly with other people they come across.
Can you imagine growing up and having an abandoned amusement in walking distance of your house as a kid? When I was a kid we’d just go to the creeks over and over again. This would be otherworldly adventure.
When I lived in Myrtle Beach I was walking distance away from the defunctHard Rock Park. Walking around the abandoned entrance was cool but the park was completely gated off and definitely had security there.
Those kids were adorable. My Japanese is very rusty, but I'm pretty sure they basically said that you scared them because they heard noises like banging, and they were relieved when they saw it was you ("Ah, tasukatta!") You started talking about ghosts, so he thought you wanted to see the haunted house and took you there. He said you would need a light in there because it was very dark, and then he said his name (Yuugi/Youhei?? I have bad speakers and I didn't catch it well, I'm sorry.) His friend was very scared to go into the haunted house, so his group was backing out. He then asked where you were from (understood the word America and connected it with something he knows from the country - basically telling you something he liked.) He then either told you his CZcams channel or that he would watch the video on your channel (definitely something about CZcams.) At the end, he said something like "goodbye! Ghosts are no good! Punch them away!" Not 100% correct, but I hope it's close enough to help some people for context.
The park got demolished a couple years ago, no it is completely gone, they are going to put senior parks on its old location. Im glad people documented it before it was erased.
19:40 For anyone wondering, when they were by the water and boats, that was most likely a bullfrog, probably hidden in the tall grass or in one of the boats since the sound was echoing/louder, they can usually be found in or around some body of water
I actually visited this place in its heyday in the early '60s...as a 12 year old kid. My father was stationed in Atsugi, Japan at the time...and we went there on vacation. Anyway, back then it was entirely a Disney rip off. There was a Mickey...and a Donald Duck...if I remember correctly. I think Disney sued over copyright laws. They must have changed the rides to be more Japanese like at that time. Neat to revisit. I'd like to say I remember more, but unfortunately I do not. It's been over 50 years ago...
One day, probably 30 years from now, when you're 40+ you'll understand that once you're at an age where you've topped out on your job experience, you have your license, you can rent any car you want, you've smoked, you've had kids (and they've grown up), and so on that what exact year old you are just doesn't really make any difference anymore.
I just flew over on google earth and it looks like the place was bombed. So i googled it and sure enough it was demolished beginning in October of 2016- just 4 months after this video was taken.
This is by far one of the best-made exploration videos I've ever watched. You're not obnoxiously loud; you often really let both the silence and the natural sounds from inside and around the park dominate the background. The long, still shots of some of the attractions and the overgrown buildings on Main Street are also a big plus. The humor, scattered through out the video, is also never forced to 'make sure there's someone talking in the video'. In my eyes, 10/10.
You should subscribe to this channel. I love their videos for the reasons you just said. They let the abandoned location be the star rather than trying to display their rad after affects skills.
Like I love Sam & Colby, TFIL & Exploring Josh, but they OVERUSE the music in the background and stuff. And, are VERY obnoxiously loud lol. These guys are way more professional. I love each and everyone of their videos
@@fluseint.1303 And the saddest part is that the guy wasn't even rich as he had to give it all to the Japanese government due to him falling behind with taxes
did they say anything about youtube before that? I wish they could have watched this video.. Proper should really make business cards when encounters like this happen.
I can read all the English written in Katakana like AISU SKEETO RINKU. It kind of bothers me that the railroad around the park goes in a circle. I would have this obsessive compulsive disorder where if I built a railroad of any kind, real or model, it needs to have both left and right turns instead of just turning in one direction. I know if you turn the train around and run it the other way, then it's turning in the opposite direction even if it's the same circular track. But still. Disney just has it's train run in a circle in just one direction. It's got to be tedious as fuck especially when it rides through a cave with loud sound effects. If I was the driver, I'd be like, "oh, fuck it's this same cave again with the ear shattering sounds." It's got to be a tedious task to drive that fucking train. People need to buy my "Impact" a James Grider novel on Amazon and linked in my videos and subscribe to my channels so I can afford a used car.
Well the video's 3 years old but for anybody who's curious, here's some of the Japanese speech translated: 10:17 "bikkuri shita!" = you scared us! 10:29 'ban' is pretty much the Japanese way of saying 'bang' or 'pow'. 10:55 "shashin totte... ii?" = could you take a photo? (unclear who he's talking to, or he might be speaking in the general sense of "let's take a photo"... Japanese can be kind of ambiguous like that at times) 11:08 'haeru' is to enter 11:20 "chiisai kara midoru..." = it's small, but in the middle... Evidently he's trying to say it's small on the outside but if you go inside there's much more to see. 11:47 I think he said "tte abunai nah" which is like "hey it's dangerous" (he's kinda joking) and soon after we start to just barely hear a girl in the back say what sounds like "ya da" repeatedly which is basically a Japanese way of saying "nope, nope, nope" 11:52 "matte matte wait wait" well he translated himself there but yeah by now that girl is properly freaking out. I think she's saying "kono ya da" which is like "I don't like this one bit" or "hell no to this". 12:05 'naiteiru' = crying 12:30 "ki o tsukete" = be careful, "/ghost/ ni yareta dame" = don't get done in by a ghost Well I'm not super fluent but my conversational Japanese is an inch or two past mediocre. Don't ask me to translate any of the signs though. My reading skills are non-existent. Peace, ghosts, and Ariana Grande.
Any one else feeling existential dread after watching this and realizing you didn't get to come here abandoned or not? I love that it wasn't another just another Disneyland. I love this wierd little place and sad it no longer exists. I also love that it was called dreamland for many different reasons.
I think there are a variety of reasons stuff gets left behind. I think when some places close, there is a hope that it will reopen again, so they don't bother getting rid of the stuff. A theme park near me has closed at least 3 times and eventually reopened each time. If they plan to sell a place, they may leave stuff in place hoping to sell it as one lump sum rather than having to part it out and find buyers for all the stuff. Also if there is any litigation against a business when it closes i don't think they can legally liquidate assets until all lawsuits are finalized. If this process takes years, the condition of the stuff may be so poor it's not worth selling.
@@zahraf5367 I wouldn't be surprised if that's not a part of it. Like having stuff from failed theme park at your theme park might be bad luck in some people's eyes.
It would cost more money to move the stuff and try to sell it than it would be worth, the place was hemorrhaging money before they shut down and they really just didn't have funds to do anything with it at that point.
I got the chance to experience this place when my dad was in the Navy and stationed in Japan. I’m happy I got to visit it before it was abandoned. It was an interesting yet fun experience to say the least.
The Japanese kids you spoke with were so cute and sweet!! I also understand why the one girl from their group was afraid of the haunted house. The mannequins and things really freak me out, so even just watching the video as you went through it made me shiver.
I was bracing myself for one of the "traps" to activate, like one that is purely mechanical that actually still works. Like a zombie head that just spins around or something.
The weird sound at the boats were bullfrogs, I can almost promise. It was in a woodsy area with water. I live in south GA so I definitely know the sound.
Me and my cousins were playing kickball at the park at 11 pm and there was a pond and we heard like a women screaming and we ran, like *RAN. Apparently it was those damn frogs
I would be terrified to do this in a foreign country! Getting in legal trouble in another country is one of my biggest fears. The 1999 movie Brokedown Palace scarred me for life
What a sad end to something that someone else put so much time into. I can only imagine how much joy it brought when it was built and the memories that were created were a short span of time. Thanks for visiting this park and for allowing a glimpse into what it was and what it is in the present day.
This place closed in 2006, and I'm thinking to myself, "That was, like, yesterday." But then I thought to myself, "That was 13 years ago, idiot." I guess when you've been around a while...
Speaking of forgetting how much time has passed, I just went to a grocery store to look for Bubble-Yum Checkermint Gum, my old favorite, but it was only after I couldn't find it that I learned that it was discontinued decades ago. I was really depressed afterward.
Great video! It is a bummer that it was torn down/demolished. Looks like you guys filmed this video just in time b/c they started demolition in October 2016! Thank you for preserving the history a bit with this video!
10:12 - 12:40 is my favorite part of the video, ‘cause it’s very cute, especially how those Japanese sounded when trying to communicate with Michael and whoever the girl was with him. It’s the very reason why this is my most favorite The Proper People video they ever did. :)
Maybe it's just me, but I would definitely take something from these places if I went. Like nothing too crazy like a park map or something. I don't know why I feel like I would just need to.
For some reason I really enjoy the Japanese sky during the night and early morning, that time has always been really calming for me, and this video really captures that feeling of peacefulness for me.
The creaky floor in the castle is one of the ways used to alert the person(s) at the up coming scare spot to be ready that people are coming, everything is about timing. The flashing lights, creaky floors, sirens and such are part of the scare and alert systems for the next scare.
Japanese people are quite often very superstitious. The Japanese boy was saying (in rough translation) “be careful, don’t go towards the ghosts, (in a polite/warning way) leave here”. The girl was probably too afraid to go in because of the premise of this ghost attraction being abandoned and therefore haunted with ill spirits, especially since it was so dark and late at night. 🙊
I wonder what that girl saw or heard that made her have a panic attack, when they run into the group they explain that they've been hearing what sounds like footsteps or tapping sounds behind them
Spent time in Japan as a Marine. Those folks were awesome. As a contractor in Iraq, I had a female Japanese US Army captain who asked her grandmother, who lived in Japan, to send her a Japanese styled coffee cup. So she mailed her one, and she ended up giving it to me, as a thank you for the work we had done for unit. Still cherish that cup today. Again, awesome people!
People who are like "Japanese people are so nice" probably commented before the part where there were groups of kids smashing the park, lmao. Humans are humans no matter where you go
this video is literally a horror movie, like a movie where it's filmed POV of the main character or if they were making a documentary or something, I'd def love to see a movie like this
me and 1 of my friends went to japan and we went to nara dreamland cause we heard about it from a couple of guys at a hostel we were staying at, and the pikachu car at the 34:50 mark my friend jumped in and i gave him a push and the sound turned on for a few seconds but it was so damaged it made pikachu sound as if he was possessed.
I went there when I was a kid. It was in June and drizzling, looking back at the pictures, the whole park was to ourselves.We were the only ones on the rides.
What most people don't know is that it was a Disneyland until right about 80% completion. It wasn't until after that the licensing fee war broke out and Disney pulled out of the project. By that time, most of the main attractions were complete including the matterhorn bobsled ride (minus the interior). What wasn't finished by Disney was taken over and finished by the Japanese company. That is why it is almost identical to Disneyland
That one guy looked like he was pantomiming that someone in their group started crying because they were spooked by the witch-house thing. Maybe it's where they died. 0:
Did this randomly appear in everyone else’s recommendations hahah. Class video btw. I think this theme park was completely destroyed a few months after this went up.
I’m sad to see this. Actually this place was the nearest theme park whenI was a kid and I have tons of good memory with my grand parents and dad. They are no longer with me. My first date was there as well. I have a mixed feeling to see that dreamland is consumed as a cheap horror content😢
"Can we go to Disneyland?" "We already have a Disneyland" The Disneyland: I'm not sure sure if I made it make a bit more sense or just fucked up and said the same joke in a different way
Amusement parks already have enough ways for people to get hurt, with all the machinery, electrical wiring, high places, and handrails. Add a decade of deterioration, and I would totally be afraid of floors collapsing or ceilings crashing down. Not to mention crazies squatting in the debris.
Bruh these comments, "you can hear voices in some parts" because there is literally other group of people, we see like 2 group in this video, the school kids and the other vandalising group and its not weird to think there are more since they love doing these trial of courage kinda thing
+Tao's Bikes I think she's fucking adorable! Plus I don't think these people understand how impossibly late and cold it was from the looks of the video.
Its not exactly a Disney knock-off... It was originally going to be a real Disney park, but after the Nara Business man, and Walt Disney couldn't decide on a licencing agreement for the Disney-Original-Attractions and characters, the Disney company left the project. But by that time, 80% of the park was already built, minus most of the Disney things. So then the Nara Business man was rushed into finishing the theme park and came up with these attractions. For example, the mountain was already built, and was supposed to be Matterhorn, but had to be called the 'Bobsleds' instead. After the fully Disney attraction opened in Hong Kong and Shanghai, Nara Dreamland was seen as a Copy Cat Park. Week after week, the park got less visits, workers and janitors quit. And Nara Dreamland went under the radar, and became dirty and unpopulated, until it closed down.
You guys definitely have courage to walk into another country alone and explore a abandon theme park. Kudos to you both. Very mature as youngsters as well. Unlike the natives you ran into. Hi

19:30 That's a bullfrog. They're not native to Japan, but were introduced for food and escaped and can be found everywhere now, including Nara.
I thought it was something more aggressive like a bear or something.
He so loud, later in the video they so far away you can hear him
I so thought this didnt sound like an animal lol, was looking for this comment thanks!!
I'd a called it a chazwazza
I hear them in the Appalachian mountains of western North Carolina during the summers
The Japanese kids you spoke with were so cute and sweet!! I also understand why the one girl from their group was afraid of the haunted house. The mannequins and things really freak me out, so even just watching the video as you went through it made me shiver.
It's always crazy to me how quickly things deteriorate

Going through that haunted house took so much courage dude. I was scared shitless in my house, and I couldn’t imagine being there IRL
I was bracing myself for one of the "traps" to activate, like one that is purely mechanical that actually still works. Like a zombie head that just spins around or something.
These people crazy as hell...in the middle of the night exploring an abandoned theme park in Japan?! Super brave 😱😱😱
krazybonita85 I know somebody who trespassed into an abandoned asylum in California, at 3:00 in the morning. It was so scary.

The weird sound at the boats were bullfrogs, I can almost promise. It was in a woodsy area with water. I live in south GA so I definitely know the sound.
That creepy sound would have been enough for me to leave FAST

What a sad end to something that someone else put so much time into. I can only imagine how much joy it brought when it was built and the memories that were created were a short span of time. Thanks for visiting this park and for allowing a glimpse into what it was and what it is in the present day.
This place closed in 2006, and I'm thinking to myself, "That was, like, yesterday." But then I thought to myself, "That was 13 years ago, idiot." I guess when you've been around a while...
John Roberts literally same lol
Time is relative.
it closed the year i was born pffft
Polacti little nigga.
Speaking of forgetting how much time has passed, I just went to a grocery store to look for Bubble-Yum Checkermint Gum, my old favorite, but it was only after I couldn't find it that I learned that it was discontinued decades ago. I was really depressed afterward.

This place was demolished a few months after anyways.
Oh the irony of it all
Don't wanna get caught in the moment!!!
Publishes when back in the states. The American way of thinking ;)
Apparently this place was bought by a housing developer and was demolished in 2017. Weird to think it’s not there anymore.

10:12 - 12:40 is my favorite part of the video, ‘cause it’s very cute, especially how those Japanese sounded when trying to communicate with Michael and whoever the girl was with him. It’s the very reason why this is my most favorite The Proper People video they ever did. :)
Maybe it's just me, but I would definitely take something from these places if I went. Like nothing too crazy like a park map or something. I don't know why I feel like I would just need to.

Well, if it's abandoned... Why is it abandoned tho? ... Who says it's haunted?
Ahhw E-Any nobody. until people actually take something and realise it iS haunted lmao.
For some reason I really enjoy the Japanese sky during the night and early morning, that time has always been really calming for me, and this video really captures that feeling of peacefulness for me.
The creaky floor in the castle is one of the ways used to alert the person(s) at the up coming scare spot to be ready that people are coming, everything is about timing. The flashing lights, creaky floors, sirens and such are part of the scare and alert systems for the next scare.

They are programming us for the inevitable.
Japanese people are quite often very superstitious. The Japanese boy was saying (in rough translation) “be careful, don’t go towards the ghosts, (in a polite/warning way) leave here”. The girl was probably too afraid to go in because of the premise of this ghost attraction being abandoned and therefore haunted with ill spirits, especially since it was so dark and late at night. 🙊
More like too early in the morning, point taken though
Plus, their supernatural lore is stranger and scarier than ours.

Spent time in Japan as a Marine. Those folks were awesome. As a contractor in Iraq, I had a female Japanese US Army captain who asked her grandmother, who lived in Japan, to send her a Japanese styled coffee cup. So she mailed her one, and she ended up giving it to me, as a thank you for the work we had done for unit. Still cherish that cup today. Again, awesome people!

Although I agree with you, there is probably less vandalism in Japan as they have much more stricter laws and prisons.

AHHHH DREAMLAND PREDICTED THE FUTURE !
What most people don't know is that it was a Disneyland until right about 80% completion. It wasn't until after that the licensing fee war broke out and Disney pulled out of the project. By that time, most of the main attractions were complete including the matterhorn bobsled ride (minus the interior). What wasn't finished by Disney was taken over and finished by the Japanese company. That is why it is almost identical to Disneyland
Plot Twist
What if the Japanese people were the ghosts 😳...ghosts that like Ariana Grande 😳😳😳
That one guy looked like he was pantomiming that someone in their group started crying because they were spooked by the witch-house thing. Maybe it's where they died. 0:
I mean then those ghosts must have really good taste in music
That was kinda cute. I wonder if they were just kids goofing around, ex workers, or maybe the offspring of the ppl that built this.

Amusement parks already have enough ways for people to get hurt, with all the machinery, electrical wiring, high places, and handrails. Add a decade of deterioration, and I would totally be afraid of floors collapsing or ceilings crashing down. Not to mention crazies squatting in the debris.

Its not exactly a Disney knock-off... It was originally going to be a real Disney park, but after the Nara Business man, and Walt Disney couldn't decide on a licencing agreement for the Disney-Original-Attractions and characters, the Disney company left the project. But by that time, 80% of the park was already built, minus most of the Disney things. So then the Nara Business man was rushed into finishing the theme park and came up with these attractions. For example, the mountain was already built, and was supposed to be Matterhorn, but had to be called the 'Bobsleds' instead. After the fully Disney attraction opened in Hong Kong and Shanghai, Nara Dreamland was seen as a Copy Cat Park. Week after week, the park got less visits, workers and janitors quit. And Nara Dreamland went under the radar, and became dirty and unpopulated, until it closed down.
