These houses were modeled on old British ones

As you enter Niji No Sato, these black and white English architectural designs will greet you

As you continue to the other parts of the British village

From the British village, the Shuzenji Romney Railway will give you a relaxing tour around the other villages in Niji No Sato

This is the end of the British village; walk about 7 minutes from here to get to the Canadian village

This is where the train stops after going around the 50-hectare park so the next passengers can have their turn

"Oh my, I'm in the UK!" That's exactly what I screamed with excitement as I stepped inside Niji-no-Sato in Shuzenji, a 50-hectare leisure park with different themed villages including British, Canadian and Japanese. The black and white architectural designs inspired by old British houses greeted my eyes as I entered the first part of the park. Other places I visited inside the English village are the King's Cross, the Toy Museum filled with teddy bears in different sizes, the 15-inch Gauge Railway Museum, and Penny Lane, a cafe designed like a red bus where we could get ice cream.

Yes. Do so.... This is one of the best places I have traveled here. Ideal time to come here is in spring, as most, if not all flowers are in full bloom, making a great capture in your photos.
