As large theme parks go bust across Japan, Tokyo Disneyland and its affiliate, Tokyo DisneySea, are exceptions, attracting more than 20 million visitors every year with the help of their innovative business strategy.
When Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki Prefecture collapsed in February, it was following on the heels of Seagaia in Miyazaki Prefecture and Gulliver's Kingdom at the foot of Mount Fuji.
Huis Ten Bosch, which means "House in the Forest" in Dutch, filed for protection from creditors with the Nagasaki District Court under the Corporate Rehabilitation Law. It was the largest theme park failure since Seagaia went belly up in 2001.
