Donguri Village, an interactive tourist attraction in Saga city, Japan, is set to close as early as autumn 2027 due to aging facilities and a decrease in visitor numbers. The facility, which has been operating since 1988, initially attracted around 500,000 visitors each year. However, attendance has been declining, leading the operator to announce the closure.
The decision to shut down the site was discussed with local residents on August 10. Despite the news, some visitors expressed disappointment, stating that the loss of such an interactive and engaging place would be felt. The future use of the site remains undecided.
