Baruto-no-niwa, Film set and theme park in Ōasa-chō Hinoki, Japan.
Description
Baruto-no-niwa was a film set and theme park in Ōasa-chō Hinoki dedicated to the 2006 film about German prisoners of war in Japan. The grounds featured outdoor exhibits and thematic areas with reconstructed buildings and period objects.
History
The site opened in 2010 to commemorate the experiences of German soldiers held at the Bandō prisoner-of-war camp during World War I. The exhibition focused on this lesser-known chapter of German-Japanese history.
Culture
The park presented exhibitions about the interactions between Japanese guards and German prisoners through artifacts, photographs, and reconstructed environments. Visitors could understand this historical exchange between two nations.
Practical
The facility has been closed to visitors since May 6, 2015, though photographic documentation and information remain accessible through digital archives. Interested visitors can still find online resources that show what the former site looked like.
Did you know?
The park reconstructed the historic buildings of the Bandō prisoner camp, which was actually located in a different region. Visitors could walk through these recreations to understand the spatial layout of the original camp.
