And now a sad bit of news folks. After 17 years of business, Tokyo’s famed Ultraman Land is closing its doors. The park was opened for operation in 1996 in Tokyo’s Sunshine City Complex. Ever since its creation the park has featured tons of activities for fans of all ages. Stage shows, live events, interviews and public appearances by cast and crew, and so much more. There are even replicas on display of nearly every Ultraman prop or costume that you could think of from the entire franchise!

Tsuburaya (Ultraman’s parent company) has stated that the parks closure coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the franchise. They’re gearing up for the anniversary itself but are closing the most memorable place for fans to enjoy Ultraman which seems odd. The park will close this September 2013 so if you’re a Japanese based fan or will be traveling there soon then be sure to drop in to see Ultraman Land for the last time.
