Taiyo Park is a truly one-of-a-kind theme park where you’ll find hyper-detailed models of famous international landmarks dotted across its larger-than-life 140,000-meter grounds. Visit here for a showcase of over 3,000 sculptures and replicas representing about 70 famous structures from around 20 countries and regions.

The park is divided into two main “Stone Area” and “Castle Area” zones, with globally iconic intrigue at every turn. Step into the Stone Area for a wander among replicas of the Arc de Triomphe, the Great Wall of China, Egyptian pyramids, and an impressive display of 1,000 life-sized Terracotta Warriors.
The Castle Area features the majestic "Swan Castle”, inspired by Germany’s Neuschwanstein Castle, accessible via monorail at the top of a hill. Inside, you'll find one of western Japan’s largest collections of trick art exhibits.
The park provides immersive experiences, including walking atop the Great Wall replica and passing under the Arc de Triomphe, offering more than just miniature versions. Equally stunning is the sight of 1,000 Terracotta Warriors lined up in formation!

Pick up a stamp rally sheet or rent traditional ethnic costumes from around the world for a picture-perfect day of fun. Taiyo Park is run by an equal-opportunity organization, employing many team members with disabilities as part of its full commitment to social welfare.
