| Another city to visit
in Hokkaido is Obihiro. Things to do there include visiting
museums, attending the numerous annual events and festivals, and, of
course, going to onsen (hot
springs). Obihiro is also the home of Glücks Königreich, a theme park
reflecting the architectural and cultural themes of Germany.
Sadly, it is now closed and abandoned. Reading Connection Glücks Königreich is the park described in the most detail in the article "Foreign Country Theme Parks: A New Theme or an Old Japanese Pattern?" by Joy Hendry.
