What is Tobu World Square?
Tobu World Square is a theme park that reproduces tourist destinations around the world in Tochigi Prefecture on a 25/1 scale.
There are several facilities in Japan that duplicate tourist spots, but the scale and quality here are different.
The appearance of the entrance may look like a child, butThe contents are very satisfying for travel enthusiasts, so please visit.
Highlights
Genuine orientation without compromise
The miniatures of this facility are so elaborate that you can't tell the difference in the photos compared to the real thing.
For example, in the case of the Parthenon, marble powder is mixed with the material for reality.
There are 102 uncompromising works in the park!
I was planning to stay for about 90 minutes, but I inadvertently took a walk for about 4 hours, and the later schedule was messed up.
25/1 scale
The 25/1 scale may sound small, but it's usually big.
In the case of Tokyo Sky Tree, it is 634m, so it is about 26m high.
(The production cost is 2 million yen for Tokyo Sky Tree alone!)
Other buildings are also made to the same size, so you can walk around while imagining a real sense of scale.
14 unique dolls
There are 7 14 cm high dolls in the miniature tourist area.
All the dolls are handmade and each has a story so you won't get tired of watching it.
A dirty Lee-style police officer is firing at a thief.
Some people are dropping their luggage, others are shooting with the camera pointing at them, and so on.
Be aware that when you start looking for the stories of the dolls, the time goes on and on.
Use the real thing for 99% of plants
There are as many as 2 plants planted around the miniature, 99% of which are genuine.
Thanks to that, in the fall, the leaves turn red just like the real thing.
Sticking to it, it's amazing.
Introduction of exhibited works
If you show them all, the number of photos will be huge, so I will pick them up and introduce them.
Three Great Pyramids (Egypt)
From the left, it is the pyramid of King Menkaurer, King Khafre, and King Kufu.
It can snow in winter, so you can enjoy the snow-covered pyramids that you can never see in the real thing.
Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italy)
You can see that the slope is quite good.
Many people take commemorative photos by supporting them with their fingers.
Notre Dame Cathedral (France)
You can see the full picture before the fire in 2019.
The Eiffel Tower is cut off on the left.
Sagrada Familia (Spain)
Not to mention the overly detailed decoration, the construction crane is reproduced just like the real thing.
It was too big to fit in the camera.
Neuschwanstein Castle (Germany)
It is a castle that became a model of Cinderella Castle.
I definitely want to see it when it snows.
Big Ben (United Kingdom)
The Palace of Westminster, which is also the British Parliament, and Big Ben, the clock tower (left photo).
I remembered that it was under construction when I went to see the real thing.
It may be a good point of the miniature that you can always see the best condition.
Taj Mahal (India)
A mausoleum built for the emperor's beloved wife.
Even though it's attractive in miniatures, it stirs your imagination no matter how amazing the real thing is.
Forbidden City (China)
It is the Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City.
The shooting scene of the movie "The Last Emperor" is reproduced with a doll.
You can see this size compared to people walking.
Great Wall of China (China)
It is a castle wall built to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies.
It looks real, except that the vegetation is too big.
Himeji Castle (Japan)
It is a castle that represents Japan.
There are also other miniatures that represent Japan, such as Kinkakuji Temple and Itsukushima Shrine.
Required Time
The time requiredIt takes about 90 to 120 minutes.(+90 minutes when you start looking for what kind of doll you have)
There is also a free guided tour, with A course that guides you through the first half of the park and B course in the second half.
Whether you listen to this guide or not will make a big difference in your satisfaction and enjoyment, so be sure to participate in both.
