Here are some faux (fake) European theme parks and attractions in Japan. Many of these may serve as an ideal local for a HEMA camp, workshop, or choreographed fight video. They are also fun places just for a visit!
"A full-scale reproduction of streets in France, Italy & Spain"
Not a particularly large site, but well done for the few streets and alleyways built. It solidly authentic as a replica theme park. Would make a great swashbuckling chase sword fight. At least one or two larger, open areas for a small event. There are some rides and slides as well.

Scandanavian countryside themed outdoor entertainment park. A mix of traditional and modern Scandinavian influences (but heavily leaning to modern). Popular Scandinavian pop culture characters roam the park. Includes a shopping modern shopping center and nordic craft classes.
Modeled after a country farm village, with exposed timber buildings in pastel plaster. The park has many large, open fields, a few rides, shopping and crafting attractions.
This place leans HARD into the Wedding venue business. But daily visitor tickets are still always open.

This place wants to be Disney Land. But.... Spain. ???
Dutch theme park. i clearly got tired of writing descriptions.
Was built on the idea of "bring the world to the disabled people of Japan" So there are other global themes around the park.
Apparently virtually empty of tourists.
The most inaccessable park on the list. Its not JUST down in Okinawa. Its on a smaller island 300km south-west of Naha.
Another version of the "bring the world to Japan" concept of travel stress and cost reduction. A mix of old and new landmarks are "recreated in minature". For our purposes, they have a much better (looking) Neuschwanstein castle, The great wall of China, Roman Colosseum, the Tower of Pisa and the palace of Versailles.
But everything is obviously comically too small for a HEMA event. Ever seen that scene in Spinal Tap with the Stone Henge?
Obviously, this is not Europe, but historical Japan. Hence the "Honorable Mention". But as a historical theme park, it should be on everyone's list.
