The series
Western Village
Western Village began life in the early 1970s as Kinugawa Ranch, a family-owned country camp near Nikkō in Tochigi Prefecture. In 1975 it was rebuilt as a Western American themed amusement park: replica saloon, hotel, barbershop, bank, blacksmith, sheriff's office, chapel, two haunted houses, and a "mystery shack" with slanted interiors. Animatronic figures populated the buildings; live shows included whip cracking and apple-shooting. At its peak it drew close to a million visitors a year. Continuing investment outpaced revenue; the entrance fee was cut from ¥2,400 to ¥1,500 with little effect. The creditor NIS Group filed for foreclosure in April 2007. The animatronic figures are still in place.
