Pop Japan

The usual set-up is that the theme parks only have a small section, amidst everything, solely dedicated to children. But what if children wants to occupy more acres of land from the total land space of the theme park?

Introducing the Kodomo no Kuni theme park in Yokohama Prefecture. The name of the park is composed of three Japanese words. The first word is kodomo. This literally means "child." The second word is no. This is a Japanese possessive particle which can be translated to English as "of." The third word is kuni. This means "country." Put them together, the name literally means the country for children.
