Ruins with a roller coaster watching the goddess in the middle of De Osaka "Festival Gate" ~ The first part · Explore around ~

Although it may not be remembered except for people living in the Kansai area, as a city-type compound entertainment facility that the roller coaster runs through the building and runs through in the eyes and the south of Osaka's New World / Tsutenkaku, it was released in 1997 It appeared in "Festival gate"There is a facility called" It seems that it was a great success immediately after opening, but it seems that the subsequent attracting guests did not work well, except for their neighbors, they were forgotten and they did not know that the business was quietly finished in 2007 I wonder if there are people.

At this festival gate, now part is open as a passage for passing through the Tsutenkaku area from the zoo metro station on the subway Midosuji / Saksai line, which is directly linked, and the atmosphere of sadness such as an unmoving roller coaster rises from the station It is said that it has become possible to taste it in tens of seconds, so I have taken a strange sight that is in line with the ruined amusement park.

Photos & movies of "The first part / surrounding search" details from the following. The address is 3-4-36 Emi-Nishida Naniwa-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka. It is also directly connected to Exit 5 of the Midosuji / Sakaisuji line of Osaka municipal subway "Zoological zen" station 5, as well as Shinki Imamiya station of JR · Nankai Electric Railway and Nankake Town Station of the Sakanai line.

This time I went from the zoo in front of the Midosuji Line.


There is no need to worry about being at the home exit guidance because it is written fairly as a festival gate.


From the ticket gate to the outside.


I found a tasteful map as if I had printed somewhere on the map site.


Proceed to Exit 5.


I came to see it.



It is somewhat dim.


The sign of "festival gate". It is already an amusement park style from this staircase. However, unlike ordinary amusement parks, it is quiet despite being strange.



The escalator was moving. I guess this is still a subway station facility.




There is a shutter in the place where it climbs up.


It seems there are times when the walkthrough of the festival gate is closed.


Also a guide card.


As soon as you leave the ground, big wave goes to the left.



This is like a main entrance.




On the pillar are the characters "smoking in the hall" "security in progress" "install security camera".


The escalator is stopped, it seems that it has not been cleaned as much as the heyday, and garbage is accumulated here and there. sad.




Crossing the road and looking like this.


Roller of the roller coaster. Naturally now nothing is running.


The overwhelming fact that this huge facility has been neglected in the middle of Osaka do. It is beyond the level of waste.






Looking at the aerial photograph like this. You can see the course of the roller coaster.


By the way, the Sakanai Line running nearby is a streetcar. I just took a picture as I passed the railroad crossing.


Tunnel going through the track of JR.



Take the tunnel and you will find Nankaka Town Station. There is no ticket gate at the station, it seems to be a type of train that pays the fare when getting off.



The festival gate is near from this station, and the guide is out.


The area around the town is quite cool, including Tobi specialty work clothes store and business hotel of 2100 yen per night. Probably, if the festival gate was keeping more success, the store's attitude around here might have changed a lot.



Shin-Imamiya station is also nearby so you can also go to the festival gate from here.


The train in Orange is the JR Osaka cyclic line.


The subway is the Sakaidi line and the Midosuji line.


It is a convenient place to come by train, but there seems to be a parking lot.


Because the trees on the site are hardly groomed, it is unlikely to grow uncontrollably and the letters of "Festival Gate" are hidden in the trees from here.


Since there is a rail support of the roller coaster, it seems to be in the premises of the festival gate until this implantation. A tree is approaching towards the top of the pillar, and it is somewhat dangerous feeling as it is.


Weeds are growing in the potatoes, and they are growing steadily.


Azalea withering. Or, it is a matter of time before buried in the weeds, which seems to be lighting behind, completely buried.


Although a fence that is common in construction sites is standing still, since it is still used as a communication passage, we can still see some of the inside.




There is a shutter at the end of the letters "Can not pass through".



Poster after. Remnant marks remained but it is quite old. I wonder if the date will be posted again here ... ....


It seems to be a motif in the sea.



Sitting on the stairs is prohibited, but sometimes I saw a person who was tired of sitting and resting living.



The next time it will finally climb this staircase and infiltrate into the "Festival Gate".
