SMALL WORLDS TOKYO, one of the world’s biggest indoor miniature theme parks, is scheduled to open on June 11 in Ariake!
This is another world where miniatures are “living.” Once you are through the entrance tunnel, you become a giant, peeping into a small world where little people and vehicles are coming and going. Cars are running, airplanes are taking off and touching down, and a rocket is about to launch, which all look very real. You will be really impressed by Japan’s sophisticated skills and cutting-edge technology!
Let’s explore this unseen world for its appealing aspects!
SMALL WORLDS TOKYO
01 Kansai International Airport Area
The airport terminals and aprons look just like real.
The scene with airplanes taking-off and landing irregularly with realistic special effects makes you feel like you are really at the airport.

In the area, the streetscape from the volumes 1 to 4 of the manga series “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” based on the Azabu-juban area in the 1990s as well as “Crystal Tokyo,” the futuristic world of this series.
This is Tokyo-3 area located directly below the NERV headquarters. At a scale of 1/80, the world in the series is elaborately recreated!
When you start hearing sirens, the cars in the city evacuate one after the other and the city starts to transform！
Upon attacks of Angels, the city is stored underground and the future world with cutting-edge disaster control appears. An experience to feel as if you are in the story is only available here!
