Canadian World Park, Theme park in Ashibetsu, Japan
Canadian World Park is an open-air site in Ashibetsu featuring replicas of houses and scenery from Prince Edward Island. The grounds include several buildings with interiors designed after literary models, as well as paths through planted areas.
A private company opened the grounds in 1990 to give the city new prospects after coal mining ended. The municipality took over operations in 1999 and has run it as a public facility ever since.
The name refers to the novels by Lucy Maud Montgomery, set on a Canadian island and beloved by Japanese readers for decades. Visitors walk through rooms and gardens that recall scenes from the books, finding a tangible connection to the stories.
Admission is not required, but the grounds open only on weekends and public holidays between June and October, typically from late morning to late afternoon. Paths run across open terrain, so sturdy shoes and protection from sun or rain are advisable.
An old section of rail and a wagon from the mining era still stand on the grounds, recalling the earlier use of the region. These relics form an unexpected contrast to the rural North American settings around them.
