Haikyo: Abandoned Japan

The Gluck Kingdom

The Gluck Kingdom is a theme park in Hokkaido representing a German medieval castle. It was supposed to be a way to attract people to the Obihiro area in Hokkaido but unfortunately it totally failed in this task. A friend of mine went there in the 90’s and she told me that, even though it was a nice theme park (well made, etc.), there was really nobody in there outside of the staff. The theme park also featured a cheesy but large attraction park on its side with a few roller-coasters and a ferris’ wheel.
