This is amazing from an architectural point of view. I will say its really a good tourist spot for a day trip. Tried to take some pictures yesterday, but i must say these pictures cant prove how beautiful this place actually is.

#cherryblossom2024 The expedition we embarked upon in Japan was truly extraordinary, particularly when we completely immersed ourselves in the bustling city atmosphere and delved into the captivating realm of Tobu World Square. With the arrival of spring, a touch of enchantment was added to the already mesmerizing surroundings, and the serene landscapes encircling the shrine left us utterly awestruck. The majestic vistas etched everlasting memories in our minds, destined to remain with us for all eternity. The concept that inspired the establishment of Tobu World Square was to immortalize architectural marvels in a miniature form, showcasing the incredible achievements in building construction from various corners of the globe. With over 100 renowned structures meticulously recreated at a scale of 1:25, visitors can marvel at iconic landmarks such as Tokyo Station, Yoyogi National Gymnasium, Tokyo Dome, the Eiffel Tower, Sphinx, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. To enhance your experience at Tobu World Square, consider renting a pair of binoculars or an audio guide to delve deeper into the intricate details of the sculptures. Take your time to appreciate the elaborate relief work and fine craftsmanship that went into replicating these architectural wonders on a smaller scale. Immerse yourself in a world of miniature grandeur and marvel at the precision and artistry on display at this unique attraction. The opulent extravagance and enchanting allure of this getaway have left a lasting impression in the recesses of my mind. The profound joy of returning and losing myself in each enthralling moment at this unique haven is incomparable to any other encounter.#familytrip

#thingstodo Coming here on a weekday is highly recommended. This can be pretty packed on weekends (I know because I have been here twice), but this time we had the park almost all to ourselves, we spent like 15 minutes each exhibit so we had so much of nice pictures to choose from, I am only posting the ones we are not in though, and it’s not a lot unfortunately, but yeah, it was a visit well spent and I would come back again just for the heck of it. 😁

#japantripYou can get a discount if you have the Nikko pass so buy the ticket at the counter. No senior discount unfortunately. We liked the place a lot. You need about 1.5 to 2 hrs to visit and take pictures of all the models. My parents loved it. The models especially the churches from Europe are superb with attention given to every minute details of the architecture and design.

#thingstodo This facility is located along the national highway in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, and has a parking space for 1000 cars. Although it is a 1/25 scaled version of a major building in the world, the construction is excellent and the precision is outstanding. The depiction of the people around them is also detailed and gives a sense of realism. The way you take photos makes you feel like you've really been there, and the illuminations at night are also beautiful. It's a simulated overseas travel experience for both children and adults, and pets are also welcome.

#2024wish Had real fun exploring architectures around the world in one place, the information of those structures are available in English as well. Very beautifully sculptured and well protected sculptures. It was knowledgeable and interesting to take photos and videos. I went with 14 members on the new year holidays and it was not that crowded it was an enjoyable day. The price was 2800 yen normally but with the Nikko pass you get a 1000yen discount which definitely is worth it! And they have a souvenir shop inside and some food stalls if you need a bite. I wish to go back here in 2024
