Investigation

Castle in the Air

Tracing the origins of a 200 billion yen pipe dream of Minnade Oyasan

The castle tower featured in the pamphlet was never an investment target. A majority of investor money was siphoned out through third-party beneficiary transactions. The plan for an ultra-luxury hotel with stays priced at “5 million yen per night” dissipated without ever taking shape. The remaining funds evaporated into purchases of helicopters and bonsai plants. This article traces the transactions surrounding a theme park acquisition lauded as the “preparatory project” for the Narita development through data and sources close to the matter.
