Little World — Attraction in Inuyama

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...

I took my 9 year old here. First, it’s huge. There is a lot to see. It’s very unique. A bit of history. Plus, you can introduce your kids to other cultures. And, the kids can buy a passport book for ¥400 and collect stamps. The stamps are really nice. They are ink stamps.

Just a couple of negatives. It’s a little expensive (¥1,000 for parking?!!). ¥2,200 for an adult. They allow dogs, which is fine, but I think they should put a strict rule about the dogs. One dog was very excitable and kept barking and trying to get people. It was rather annoying. And, there was a group of people with huge dogs. I asked if I could pet one, they motioned to the one I could pet As I stepped toward it, their other huge dog leapt at me and barked aggressively. If dogs are not friendly, they should not be allowed in.

The place has a few areas in need of repairs. One set of stairs was crumbling.

We stayed about 5 hours. Overall, it’s worth the trip. Just be aware of the cost, and the...

I have been to Little World many many times over the ten years. Because there's always different food fairs throughout the year it never gets boring to visit.

The walking course is around 3 kilometers to finish and generally takes around 2 to 3 hours to complete, depending on how many pavilions I stop at. My favorite pavilions are generally the Peru, Germany and Italy pavilions as those usually have the best food in my opinion. There are several other pavilions worth visiting as well, however. It's also worth mentioning there's a small coffee shop that sells the best Kona coffee when it's open and is always the highlight of visiting Little World. Generally it's only open on weekends.

If you don't want to walk there are buses available, I think the bus fare is ¥500 but I never use the bus so I'm not 100% sure if that's still what it costs.

In spring Little World is particularly beautiful with all the blooming flowers. Sakura season is especially...
