History Village

History Village

History Village was a failed museum, which was part of a much larger tourism initiative in the Japanese city of Yūbari on the island of Hokkaidō. A former coal mining town, Yūbari has been stranded with $500 million worth of debt after Tokyo cut funding for its projects.
