SMALL WORLDS Miniature Museum
What SMALL WORLDS is
SMALL WORLDS is the largest indoor miniature museum in Asia, occupying about 7,000 square metres of a logistics building in Ariake. Everything is built at 1/80 scale, and the areas cover a space centre, Kansai International Airport, a global village of world streetscapes, an Evangelion zone, and a Shibuya area added in 2026. Lighting cycles through day and night, and vehicles, aircraft and figures move on their own schedules.
The 3D figure service
The signature experience is being scanned and turned into a 1/80 figure of yourself, then placed as a resident inside one of the exhibits. The figure is yours to keep, and your placement stays in the museum. It takes extra time on top of a normal visit, so allow for it when you plan.
How long to allow
Most visitors spend two to three hours, more with the figure service or with children who want to watch the timed sequences. It is entirely indoors, which makes it a dependable rainy-day option in a district where most attractions involve walking outside.
Getting there
Ariake-tennis-no-mori Station on the Yurikamome is a three minute walk, and Kokusai-tenjijo Station on the Rinkai Line is about nine minutes. Ariake Garden is a few minutes away for food before or after.
