A company based in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture, is aiming to open a theme park in the prefecture around 2022 featuring exhibitions of famous cities around the world using miniature models.

The attraction, to be called Little Ambassadors' Small World Okinawa, will be constructed in the southern part of Okinawa Island jointly by real estate firm Ryubo Ltd. and Tokyo-based Small World Inc., which designs amusement parks and makes miniature model structures.

Small World, meanwhile, plans to open a miniature theme park in Tokyo in 2020 using internet technology, the first of its kind in Japan.
