Nara Dreamland was the most famous abandoned theme park in the world. I was the first photographer from the west to explore and document the theme park in April 2012. Soon after, my photos were published in mainstream media articles and Nara Dreamland became known to the world. This video from my VAULT SERIES presents the first ever film footage of Nara Dreamland in its abandoned condition before it gained legendary status.
Appearing in the video is Ikumi Nakamura, then an unknown video game artist but later known for her viral E3 2019 presentation for GhostWire: Tokyo. Ikumi is in the news again for publishing Project: UrBex, a book which includes photos from our adventure this day in Nara Dreamland.

Chris Luckhardt has documented and photographed some of the most iconic and viral images of abandoned places around the world. He was among the first photographers to publish photos in the press from legendary abandoned places like Hashima Island, Nara Dreamland, Michigan Central Station, and Six Flags New Orleans. His body of work has led to interviews and collaborations with The White House, Netflix, Ford, GQ China, ABC News, Good Morning America, Scholastic Canada, Yahoo Japan, and many more. In 2016, the Obama administration invited Chris to photograph a private citizen "haunted" tour of The White House.
