Canadian World (Japanese: カナディアンワールド), or Canadian World Park (カナディアンワールド公園), is a privately-run park and former theme park in Ashibetsu, Hokkaido, Japan. It was a failed business venture intended to boost tourism in Ashibetsu, a former coal mining town.[1] The park contains various replicas of landmarks in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island (PEI), notably buildings featured in the film adaptation of the Canadian novel Anne of Green Gables, which is popular in Japan due to its inclusion in the Japanese curriculum.[1][2] Ashibetsu and Charlottetown, the capital of PEI, are also sister cities.[3]
