Tobu World Square, Miniature park in Kinugawa Onsen, Japan
Tobu World Square is a miniature park in Nikko displaying more than 100 scale replicas of worldwide landmarks at a 1:25 ratio. The models stand in themed areas accessible by walking paths and represent different continents.
Planning began in August 1969 and took several years to complete. The park opened to the public in April 1993.
The geographic sections of the park display structures from different world regions with details such as trees, streets and public squares rendered in miniature. Visitors can view the reproductions up close and observe the construction techniques of each culture.
A visit works well as a half to full day activity depending on interest in the models. Photography is allowed and restrooms with rest areas are located throughout the grounds.
Each miniature model contains tiny figures of people and vehicles that represent everyday scenes. These details bring the reproductions to life and create small stories around the structures.
