Embrace Your Inner Child at Japan's Site of Reversible Destiny

Nestled in the side of Japan’s Yoro Mountains is a park plucked straight out of Wonderland. Filled with mind-bending sculptures and intricate labyrinths meant to challenge perceptions, the space is one part theme park and one part art installation. Visitors are encouraged to approach the site with the mindset of a child: to climb, be curious and discover different perspectives. Step through the looking glass and explore with us.

[@sophieLPS120]

[@migz3057]

Is this the place from Silent Voice/Koe no Katachi?

[@andreastagno1617]

Yep, this park is in a scene of "A silent voice".

[@neshanwonder]

[@JMTM]

Why is Japan so amazing? There are billions of amazing things in Japan, and it gives the impression that people's lifes there are fun and exciting, like a huge attraction park without an end! Sightseeings on every step!

[@dota2sets232]

Looks like an amazing place to relax

[@tomek1678]

Usually, if my parent say "we're going to a park!" Then I say "ffffffuuuuuuucccccc*******" but here, I'd be willing to go for 2 days

[@paoloemmanuelpaz3694]

Parkour dat shiz!

[@TimarisFun]

[@katieb239]

You guys should do a video on the Forbidden Corner in North Yorkshire. Very much like this idea in that it's made to completely fuck with your head.

[@reggienatividad109]

*Great Big Story!*

[@codiserville593]

mark your calendars folks

[@jaiyapapaya]

Not gonna lie, his narrator sounds quite mono tone and dull.
You can tell he's reading a script and wants to be doing anything but reading said script.

[@Glatix]

Not gonna lie, I'm giving my opinion because I'm insecure about something.

[@deelove186]

Well damn, I thought his voice was pretty nice, like how a video brochure voice actor would read. I'd rather not he talk like Mickey Mouse or the AWESMR kids man...

[@Smile936]

Yeah I thought so too, he sounded slightly angry or disdainful to me.

[@jaiyapapaya]

What? Why do I have to be insecure? It's just constructive criticism.

[@jaiyapapaya]

Oh yeah, nothing extreme. I just heard some displeasure in his voice is all.

[@user-mk8dv7oo1d]

This is called 養老天命反転地 Yoro tenmei hanten chi.

[@youtubeuser4109]

Pretty much a person with OCD's nightmare.

[@xioic]

UA-cam User how the hell is that OCD, Do you even know what it is?

[@youtubeuser4109]

Vanquisher, yeah, it means you like to organize and clean things. This place isn't organized.

[@xioic]

UA-cam User that is not OCD, that is called being a perfectionist, do some research on it.

OCD is so much more, are you stupid

[@Ikwigsjoyful]

"Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), and behaviors that drive them to do something over and over (compulsions).
Often the person carries out the behaviors to get rid of the obsessive thoughts. But this only provides short-term relief. Not doing the obsessive rituals can cause great anxiety and distress." (from the MedLine Plus online medical encyclopedia)
For what it's worth, I have OCD (although it is mostly under control these days, thanks to cognitive behavioral therapy), and I think this place looks fun! :)

[@acatinny]

Colorfully painted Hiroshima ruins, or Tsunami ruins? They never waste anything :)
