I came here on 29 April’26. It’s a public holiday. Recommended to purchased a ticket via online. You will get discount 100¥ but more importantly is you don’t have to wait a queue to purchase a ticket at the counter.
Normally, they open at 10:00 A.M. but it’s a holiday so, they opened at 9:00 A.M. Many people arrived there before 8:30 AM.
There are many zones, many countries. Honestly, some is good. Some is so so level. Anyhow, I have learned from this place. I like Germany’s toys zone and Africa’s houses. Like stories of them and the way they exhibited.
During my visit, there’s Okinawa Taiko (Drums) Performance. I loved it. They had lots of good energy during preforming. It’s really fascinating.
It’s walkable distance, but if you’d to save time. Buses are also available 600¥/adult.
Recommended to come early in the morning and enjoy here all day long.
Big open area with plenty of walking required to get to each of the attractions. There are different types of houses of different countries, and restaurants/eateries serving up food from different countries.
Terrible place to bring a child on a stroller, but perfect for the elderly, dog lovers, and families that enjoy walking long distances, uphill and downhill, under the clear blue sky.
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 beautiful there.
Nice place that serves as exhibits for various cultures throughout various points in history. It goes through the history of various people like the indigenous Americans, the Micronesians, the Ancient Greek, Africans, Japanese, Chinese, etc. Only gripe is that it's very hot during the summer with not a lot of summer. Also, this is a place in which you can spend a whole day, but there are not many food options in the museum/park itself.
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 numerous dogs.
