#Westworld vibes! A surreal piece of Americana in Japan,an abandoned theme park filled with animatronic cowboys.Built on a dream in the 1970s, the attraction evolved from a horse ranch into a million-visitor attraction. The opening of juggernauts like Tokyo DisneySea and Universal Studios Japan in the mid-2000s signalled the end.https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/leisure/western-village-wild-west-theme-park-japan-haikyo/#Haikyo #Japan #AbandonedPlaces #Explore #Photography

The final photo (for now at least) from my recent trip to Japan. In the town of Uji is the historic Byodo-in Temple, a Japanese national treasure. The temple was built in 1053 and houses a Buddha statue from that era. The building is so treasured, that it appears on the 10 yen coin. The temple and its gardens are so beautiful. I liked the framing of the temple between the trees with the reflection in the water below.

Ine no Funaya is a small fishing village located in the northern part of the #Kyoto prefecture. In Ine evertything moves slowly, with shops closing at 5PM and no-one around after dinner. If you happen to be in the area, you should visit it, but please remember: Ine is a village where people live and work. Be respectful of its history and let it fill your heart with wonder. #Japan #slowtravel #travel #traveltips #SilentSunday
