Nestled in the shadow of the magnificent Mount Fuji, Gulliver's Kingdom was believed to have closed down because of its unfortunate location. Gulliver's Kingdom theme park houses a 147 ft long Lemuel Gulliver statue sprawled across the grounds. The park was open only from 1997 to 2001 before the lack of visitors forced it to close down.
For some twisted reason, Gulliver's Kingdom park was build in the Aokigahara region, the same area where the Aokigahara Forest - Japan's most popular suicide destination - is located. Also, the nearby Kamikuishiki village is notorious as the headquarters of the Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult at the same time housing a nerve gas production facility.
