Azuma Calicoland

“*The Kingdom of dreams and magic.*”
―Official slogan
**Azuma Calicoland** (東 カリコランド*Azuma Kyarikorando*) is a 115-acre (46.5 ha) theme park at the Azuma Calico Resort located in Kimeruhi, Uta, Japan, near Azuma. Its main gate is directly adjacent to both Midotochi Station and Azuma Calicoland Station. It was the first Calico park to be built outside of the United States and opened on April 15, 1983. The park was constructed by Nellie Calico Imagineering in the same style as Calicoland in Tsukiluna and Magic Kingdom in Akmazon. It is owned by The Oriental Land Company, which licenses the theme from The Nellie Calico Company. Azuma Calicoland and its companion park, Azuma CalicoSea, are the only Calico parks not owned by The Nellie Calico Company.

The park features 7 lands, lands include World Bazaar, a variation of Miracle Street with a glass canopy, Adventure Center, Frontierland (a renamed Westernland), Critter Country, Dreamland, Toontown, and Futureland.

The park was built by Calico's Imagineers during the early 80s, to the specifications of the Oriental Land Company. The company asked Calico for a near replica of the Magic Kingdom, in Akmazon, with the best of Calicoland along the way. The pavements were built very large to accommodate the large Japanese crowds, but in later years as attendance has slowly declined some paths have been shortened, freeing up space for attractions. To this day the hub, which is usually quite small at other parks, is a massive expanse of pavement, occasionally disrupted with the odd statue or bench.

This park is not surrounded by a train due to Japanese railway regulations at the time of the park's opening mandating that trains stopping at multiple stations adhere to a timetable and charge fares, meaning Azuma Calicoland Railroad would have to have a posted schedule and be an upcharge attraction. Although it does not have train surrounding the park, it has a similar train called Western River Railroad that only goes around Adventure Center, Frontierland, and Critter Country.

## Dedication

“*To all of you who come to this happy place, welcome. Here you will discover enchanted lands of Fantasy and Adventure, Yesterday and Tomorrow. May Azuma Calicoland be an eternal source of joy, laughter, inspiration, and imagination to the peoples of the world. And may this magical kingdom be an enduring symbol of the spirit of cooperation and friendship between the great nations of Japan and the United States of America.*”
―Kyosuke Aizawa, April 15, 1983
