Nara Dreamland (Japanese: ?????????, Hepburn: Nara Dorimurando) or just simply Dreamland, was a theme park near Nara, Japan, heavily inspired by Disneyland in California. It opened in 1961 and was in continuous operation until its permanent closure in 2006 as a result of falling attendance.

Nara Dreamland was a theme park in Nara, Japan, that opened in 1961 as a direct, though unauthorized, response to the success of Disneyland in California. Its creator, Kunizo Matsuo, originally met with Walt Disney to bring a sanctioned Disney park to Japan, but the deal fell through due to licensing disagreements. Matsuo proceeded to build a park that was an almost exact visual replica of the Anaheim original, featuring a "Main Street, U.S.A.," a "Matterhorn" style mountain, and a "Sleeping Beauty Castle" centerpiece. For decades, it was a beloved destination because it was the only way for Japanese citizens to experience a Disney-style atmosphere without traveling to the U.S. However, its downfall began in 1983 with the opening of the official Tokyo Disneyland, followed by Universal Studios Japan in 2001. Unable to compete with the high-budget attractions of its rivals, attendance plummeted, and the park officially closed in August 2006. It became a world-famous "haikyo" (ruins) destination for urban explorers before it was finally demolished in late 2016.
