The Tobu World Square is a site with about 100 1/25th scale models of World Heritage Sites. Although it's a tad pricey to get in, ¥2,500 (less than $25), I'd still say it was worth it. The models aren't tiny, they are pretty big and that really helps show their detail. There is a lot to see and you can "virtually visit" places all around the world. I saw sights from Saudi Arabia and Iran, and seriously, I'm never going there. Unless the US makes them states....... |
This is actually the last model right by the exit.
Some zoo like place.

Look at the detail.
A view of how things are laid out more or less.
I think this is Buckingham Palace. The guards move around if you pay money.
That famous castle in the mountains of Norway or Finland or somewhere.
Again, I had the Godzilla urge here as well.
