[Shizuoka Prefecture] Izu's strange spot "Phantom Exhibition" is full of chaotic charm

Shizuoka Prefecture is home to the "Maboroshi Expo" in Izu Kogen. This place has been featured on many TV programs📺 Originally a tropical botanical garden, it was a truly chaotic theme park filled with a wide variety of items, from those that the director was interested in to those donated by the public😳 From a Tyrannosaurus to the particularly large Ambassador Shotoku, to the giant statues of a horse head and a cow head...there were many exhibits with no sense of unity, and I wondered, "What on earth is this place...?" With an area the same as the Tokyo Dome grounds, there was so much information, from strip shows to fairy tales, literature and art...and even nostalgic Showa retro exhibits, that it took me 90 minutes to go around everything😅 It's truly the most unusual spot in Izu! That's why it's so worth seeing! The director is also quite... or should I say, quite chaotic, so if you visit, be sure to meet him😌 *Personally, I was impressed by the Ultraman made out of a spoon✨ Even the color timer was faithfully reproduced... It was amazing! -————————————— [Access🚃🚌] From JR Ito Line "Ito Station", Take Tokai Bus "Towards Granbaru Park" Get off at "Umenokidaira" [Business hours🕰️] 9:30-17:30 (subject to change depending on the season) *Open all year round [Admission fee💰] Adults: 1400 yen Elementary and junior high school students: 600 yen -—————————————— #Summer trip #Shizuoka Prefecture #Izu Peninsula #Izu trip #Izu Kogen #Camera trip #SLR #canoneoskissx9i #Phantom Expo #Chaotic world #Theme park #Unusual spot #Full of things to see #Showa retro #World of art #I love traveling #Travel record #Cut-out world #Traveling in Japan #Where should we go next? #japan #japantravel #Indoor theme park #100 travel styles
