Kaput to Lilliput!


 



 
Somewhere at the base of Mt. Fuji Japan, you will find the small town of Lilliput in it's shadow,  Based on the classic 18th century novel, Gulliver's Travels,  an amazing theme park was inspired. Build it and they will come????   Unfortunately,  1997 to 2001, the park failed to amaze and is now left to rot :(.   Oddly enough,  this park was build along the "suicide forest", which is another Strange Spot and near the former Aum Shinrikyo headquarters (a  large terrorist organization)  responsible for the death of 13 followers in the Tokyo subway sarin nerve gas attack in 1995.   It home to 147 foot statue of Gulliver tied to the ground by Lilliputians who encounters on his adventure.   In a word "EERIE"!
