A unique theme park in Himeji City that reproduces world stone structures and famous sites at actual or elaborate scales. The greatest highlight is "Hakucho-jo" (White Swan Castle) at the top of a mountain, modeled after Germany's Neuschwanstein Castle, where you can enjoy the latest trick art inside. Also, in the "Stone Area" at the base, mysterious monuments from around the world such as the Great Wall, Pyramids, Terracotta Army, and Moai statues are assembled. You can taste the mysterious sensation of taking a world tour while being in Japan. This park, with its overwhelming sense of scale and playfulness, is a place worth making a side trip to from Osaka or Kobe, guaranteed to be photogenic for SNS.
