[The decline of Japanese cinema and the fate of film studios]

As a result, the vast film studios were sold off piece by piece, with part of Toei's Kyoto film studio becoming a tourist facility and the Kyoto Studio Park (1975), part of Shochiku's Ofuna film studio becoming a shopping center (1976), and part of Nikkatsu's Chofu film studio becoming an apartment building (1977). Nowadays, no one calls film studios "factories of dreams."
