A theme park based on Paddington Bear opened in Japan on 21 July, Kyodo News reported the same day.
The amusement park is the world’s first to be based on the popular British character. Located in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, the park has five attractions for children and families.
Among the activities of interest is a ride on a miniature fire engine. Children can knock over targets made to look like fire.
The facility is part of the Sagamiko Resort Pleasure Forest complex near Lake Sagami.
