Inside eerie abandoned Japanese hotel with thousand-Buddha statue that used to be religious-themed amusement park.

The stunning view of an abandoned resort in Japan

According to The Sun: This is the largest abandoned resort in Japan, impressive with its thousands of Buddha statues and overgrown hot springs.

Spooky photographs depict the remnants of what was once a five-star hotel with a thousand rooms in the northern region of Ishikawa.

Also known as Kaga No Sato or Hachijo Royal, this resort opened in 1987 and became a religious-themed amusement park until its closure in 2005.

The resort once attracted thousands of tourists and locals and was filled with golden temples and pagodas.

Captivating photographs show one of the hotel lobbies filled with torn furniture, a keyboard, and even a rusty 'Cadillac'.

Large empty rooms with broken windows, tattered curtains, and carpets recall a former luxury.

Nearby stand abandoned buildings, covered with cars and overgrown plants—the resort has fallen into ruin.

Yet amid this neglect, a massive golden statue of Buddha still stands, reminding of the lost entertainment.

Some other rooms appear strangely well-preserved.

But the most impressive are the thousand shiny Buddha statues sitting in perfect order in the so-called Raken Hall.

“I have never seen anything like this. It is a surreal place. The ruins of the ceiling… all the statues in line… It's like something out of a dream,” said Josh.

Other rooms seem to be untouched: wooden hangers still hang in closets, and sheets are neatly folded on beds.

Meanwhile, refrigerators remain undamaged in the hotel kitchen, with calendars pinned to the walls.

But more than 40 years after the park's closure, bushes and greenery have become the main feature of this place, wrapping around concrete floors and Japanese hot springs.

This happened just weeks after Lucas Bradburn, another content creator, shared a horrifying video from an abandoned hotel in the Japanese Kinugawa Onsen.

This city has remained untouched in Japan for over thirty years.

Lucas Bradburn stumbled upon this area while exploring the exclusion zone of Fukushima in early 2024.

This region, known for its natural hot springs, was once filled with tourists and vacationers.

Bradburn spent six hours exploring Kinugawa Onsen, making his way through about 20 buildings.

The 28-year-old resident of Berry said, “It was like walking through a ghost town.”

“Abandoned cars lined the streets, and while you could drive through this area, all the buildings around had been left to rot.”

“When we stepped inside, the contrast was striking. Outside everything was overgrown and crumbling, but inside some rooms were pristine—like no one had touched them for decades.”

Getty These frames of the abandoned resort in Japan evoke true admiration, showing how nature can conquer and transform former iconic places into artifacts of the past. Half of the resort still preserves its style, but time and nature have already made their corrections. This reminds us of how quickly situations can change and how important it is to witness histories that flow.
