Pros: It was very nice to see all the different buildings from different countries and you're allowed to go inside of nearly all areas so it's a very interactive experience as opposed to just looking from the outside. They have countries of all sizes big and small. I was very pleasantly surprised to see Micronesia, Samoa, and even Ainu heritage represented. The Micronesia exhibit featuring a Stone Coin is particularly amazing. They have all the big countries you'd expect too such as France, Germany, India, USA, etc. Cons: The place is very money hungry. They have restraunts / cafés inside of every major country, ruining the immersion for those big countries. The food they serve isn't even authentic for the most part, it's hit or miss in terms of taste. Don't even bother riding the tour bus if you care about seeing the smaller less popular countries because it will completely skip them and only take you to the big countries where there are more restraunts. Luckily the smaller countries like the previously mentioned Micronesia, Samoa, etc. are all restraunt free so you can focus 100% on the history and beauty. So it's thanks to these small countries that it is even worth going here. If you don't have the time to see everything I'd reccomend just skimming through the major spots and spending alot of time in the minor spots.

Very nicely built place. Houses of various countries are made in a planned way. Very informative with respective design and native touch/feel.

It's not well kept, so I would say the entry fee needs to be revised. But it does give you a glimpse and taste from other countries/regions. Would recommend that you wear comfortable shoes because the displays are about a 2-5 min walk apart

If you like nature and knowing something about other countries, this is the place you should go. My son enjoyed too. There's just one thing, not all the exhibits are accessible for wheelchair or stroller. I bought the ticket at the train station, it was amazing. They charged me only ¥3900. That included the train tickets, the bus ticket, the access at Little world and when we got there they gave us ¥1500 in cash coupon!!!

A good place for day out with loving ones. Pets also allowed. There are various kinds of restaurants of various countries. As long as it’s name Little world 🌎, you can see only few countries here. I think they missed some world famous civilizations and countries. However here you can enjoy 😉 Some places are just like a park and gardens. There are smoking areas also here. Enjoy 😉
