Are there other country-based theme parks in Japan besides "Huis ten Bosch"?

Spa Resort Hawaiians is a Hawaiian themed resort and theme park. It was originally a coal mine, but the mine became economically unviable, so the area’s hot springs were used to create a resort.

Apparently it has the largest single outdoor bath in Japan.

http://www.hawaiians.co.jp/show/ should have information on Hawaiian (and other Polynesian) dances they do.

The web site currently doesn’t have information in English. Possibly because they think westerners wouldn’t be interested, and possibly because it’s in Fukushima province.

I’m planning on going there this month. I’ll let you know how I found it.

Update: I enjoyed it! The onsen was great, and I was very impressed by the evening dance show. The dancing was very skilled and they did dances from many Polynesian islands, even New Zealand!

I read that they have dance lessons available during the day, but I missed out because I arrived late in the afternoon.

Although foreigners visiting is a rare occurrence, the internal signposting was in English as well as Japanese.

Overall, I found it was not just an interesting concept, but one that was executed well.

Photo of me with two fire dancers. I'm a lot taller than them, but partially that's because I had shoes on. I'm wearing a tshirt I bought in Hawaii, and wearing a lei supplied for the photo
