Tobu World Square

Very nice visit just after Christmas. It snowed some and was about -1C so we were very grateful for the frequent enclosed rest areas with heaters. I assume they have air conditioning in the summer. We spent much longer here than anticipated, and went through a whole camera battery and then some. We stayed for about 3 hours. Many of the exhibits were very nice, but some were very worn out. Everything was still very enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed that many exhibits had moving parts or special effects that could be activated with a ¥100 coin. There were moving boats, planes, cars, and little people! The audio tour was not particularly special. There were a few fun details though, and I still enjoyed it as it was only ¥500. Most frustrating was that some exhibits were missing the numbered signage needed to play the correct audio guide track. Most of the audio tour consisted of reading what was on the sign, and adding a few informational tidbits about the actual place the model was based on. I liked that it read the sign, so I didn’t need to stand in one spot to read it myself. It was very cold so I wanted to start moving. I really liked visiting, well worth the trip!

I enjoyed this so much. Miniature places all over the world with so much details. I thoroughly enjoyed that there was also miniature population and amazing articulated features of the locations as well. You could easily spend the day here. I believed we spent 2.5 hours and really enjoyed the park. Good for children adults and pet friendly!

The level of details on these models is astonishing. We had a lot of fun going through them and taking pictures. If you buy the Tobu Nikko World Heritage pass, you get a 1000 yen discount on your tickets as well. Our main gripe with the park is that it's in a very remote location, even within Nikko. There isn't much around it, and train service is limited (it was just once an hour on the day we went). Make sure to plan your timing accordingly, so you don't miss the train.

Mind-blowing miniature wonderland! Tobu World Square is a must-visit attraction in Kinugawa Onsen. Featuring 1/25 scale replicas of famous Japanese and international landmarks, this park is a marvel. Highlights: - Intricate details and accuracy - Iconic landmarks (Tokyo Skytree, Eiffel Tower, Pyramids) - Beautiful gardens and scenery - Interactive exhibits and special effects - Reasonable admission price Tips: - Plan for 2-3 hours exploration - Wear comfortable shoes - Bring camera and charger - Check for seasonal events and illuminations Favorite moment: Witnessing the breathtaking miniature Tokyo cityscape. Will definitely return for more miniature marvels!

Place was Awesome, food prices were great and it was snowing so the hot chocolate drinks at the little cafe were perfect!!!
