Tobu World Square is a
theme park located in Kinugawa Onsen (鬼怒川温泉),
Tochigi prefecture (栃木県), close to
Nikko (日光市). As its website describe it, the park contains 1:25 scale replicas of the UNESCO World Cultural and Heritage sites. It is accessible via bus from Kinugawa Onsen station (鬼怒川温泉駅) of the Tobu line (東武線). The one-way bus ride costs JPY200 each for adults and JPY100 for children, and the park's admission fee is normally JPY2,500, but since we got the Kinugawa Theme Park Pass, the bus ride was free and the theme park ticket was already included in the pass. We just had to claim the actual ticket from the ticket counter. Anyway, like other usual tourist destinations in
Japan, there's a discount coupon available from the official website. The direct link is found at the bottom of this post.
The ticket came with a guide that showed the different areas of the park. I think the park can be covered in 2 hours, though when we went there, we only had a little over an hour but still got to see all the replicas. First on the guide is the Modern Japan zone, then the America zone, followed by the Egypt zone, then the Europe zone, second to the last is the Asia zone, and completing the list is the Japan zone. Following are some of the pictures that I took.
