Canadian World

Borshch Pirozhki via Google Maps

Built during Japan's bubble era and inspired by Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic novel, Canadian World is a surreal full-scale replica of the fictional village of Avonlea. Wander past Victorian-style row houses, an old-fashioned church, and an authentically styled Green Gables farmhouse surrounded by peaceful nature. Now preserved as a quirky municipal park maintained by passionate volunteers, the village offers a strangely nostalgic, atmospheric stroll soundtracked by piped-in piano music. It is an unforgettable pilgrimage for literary enthusiasts and curious travelers seeking Japan's offbeat cultural gems.
