Small tokyo




















The days when you can come with your pet have been decided! A real mystery solving game created by up-and-coming mystery solving game creators starts!

Take your time to walk around the park, use your head and solve mysteries! Take up the challenge. Watch shuttles from the past and the future blast off. Still, it blew my mind and made a strong impression on me. I loved watching the Italian mammas cooking at their cozy kitchens, infused in this delicious aroma from the food in the making. They tried to explain every little detail to me, who was vigorously taking pictures and taking notes, but I probably got less than half of what they tried to convey.

Nevertheless, I remember the scenes very fondly and the warmth I felt. There was another family and a newly arrived au pair from England who was kind of forced into our cooking spree. While the kids were playing and minding their own business, we began to make the dumplings, each of us spontaneously taking a different task to work in a highly efficient manner.

We enthusiastically chatted and laughed as we moved about, chopping cabbage in high speed and mixing ground meat with our bare hands. The room started to get filled with the complex aroma of garlic, shiitake mushrooms and freshly cooked rice, with the kitchen counter and floor covered in white flour. Photos by courtesy of A. Last month, our beloved ash plant, Toneriko , started to shed its leaves. Not just one or two but most of them.

The plant has been with us since I first moved in with my husband thirteen years ago. It has been a very easy plant to look after. We found Global Village to have the most dramatic transformation. Nearby is an impressive recreation of Kansai International Airport. The exhibition currently has two tie-ins with iconic anime series: Sailor Moon and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Looming behind Tokyo is Crystal Tokyo, the future version of the capital city, and the Silver Millenium. Tokyo-III, on the other hand, is a massive recreation of the new capital city and the remains of Hakone. This means that you go through the different light settings in the course of a day, whether daylight, evening or night.

There, you not only find various space stations, but you can also travel back in time. The launch of a Saturn V rocket from the s is shown, and you can get glimpses into what the future of space travel may hold. Your next stop is the Global Village Area , which contains reproductions of real places in Europe and Asia in the s, as well as fictional places and beings.

A mixture of steampunk and fantasy connects the miniature worlds that merge with each other. Keep your eyes open for the main characters hidden between the buildings. Watch the masked ball and wedding, and wait for the miniature world to turn into Crystal Tokyo during its night cycle. Miniature airplanes regularly take off and land there —especially at dusk, with the sunset in the background.

Here, too, fans of the series should look for the details hidden in the area with individual characters of the story and buildings. In the cage, you will find the three Evangelion Units 01, 00, and 02, and you can see how big they are in relation to the small people in the control room. These huge machines can also move, and visitors should watch as they leave the cage. At the end of the exhibition, take a browse through the souvenir shop, which sells items of Small Worlds Tokyo, the two anime series presented there and Kansai International Airport.

Some of the items are limited and only available here. If you are enthusiastic about the exhibition, you can be part of it yourself, because you can acquire residency rights.

With a 3D scanner, a miniature figure of you can be created on-site, which is then placed in one of the areas for a year. The whole experience may not be cheap, but it is a unique opportunity, and will also get an annual ticket for the exhibition.

The admission for adults is 2, yen. Teenagers pay 1, yen and children 1, yen.
