This footage by Mort and Millie Goldsholl documents their trip to Japan ca. 1964. It includes a few images of an amusement park, probably Nara Dreamland near Nara. Nara Dreamland had opened a few years prior in 1961, was modelled after Disneyland in California, closed in 2006, and is now demolished. It is not to be confused with Tokyo Disneyland, which was the first Disney park built outside the United States in 1983. Many other titles from the Goldsholl Collection were taken during that same trip to Japan, including Hiroshima, Japan: Train Ride to Hiroshima and Osaka, and Nature shots – Shrine – Boys in White With Butterfly Nets.
