I honestly don't know how you can claim to understand this country if you don't know that.

The park recorded the peak of 4.25 million visitors in 1996. However, due to the fall of the number of visitors caused by economic slump in Japan, the park declared bankruptcy in 2003 with debt of 220 billion yen.[1] The rebuilding plan was sponsored by Nomura Principal Finance Company until March 2010, when H.I.S., a travel agency, took over the management by injecting 2 billion yen
I have untied against you the club-footed vines -
I have sent in the Jungle to swamp out your lines !
The trees - the trees are on you !
The house-beams shall fall;
And the Karela, the bitter Karela,
Shall cover you all !
In the report, released on June 26, the group defined "unclaimed land" as plots that could not be traced back to their owners. Roughly 4.1 million hectares of land in Japan fits the definition, according to the group led by former Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Hiroya Masuda. That is roughly 11% of Japan's total area and larger than Kyushu's land area of 3.7 million hectares or Taiwan's 3.6 million hectares.
Some property registers date back so far that the address of the owner is listed in Manchukuo, a region in northeast China and Inner Mongolia that was a Japanese puppet state from 1932 to 1945, the study said.
In many cases the owners have died and the plots have been left abandoned for generations, making it nearly impossible for authorities to track down the eligible heirs.

I looked into it a little bit. I can't find a comprehensive list, but there appears to have been about 30. I remember before Huis Ten Bosch there was Orandamura in Nagasaki. And speaking of Bosch, there are about seven German villages and at least a couple of England villages. There were Canadian, Danish, New Zealand and Spanish villages. Of course, there was even a Turkish village despite the end of Turuko baths. There was even a Mongolian village.
