  • TheHokkaido Kannon is the third-tallest statue in Japan and is the tenth-tallest in the world. It was considered the tallest statue in the world when it opened in 1989 at 88 metres (289 ft), holding the world record until 1991.[2]
  • Canadian World is a scale model of the Canadian seaside village of Avonlea, the setting ofAnne of Green Gables. It was built in 1990, which is said to be the origin of thesister city relationship between Ashibetsu andCharlottetown, the real city in Canada that Avonlea was based on. The park went bankrupt in 1997 and closed 1998, reopening in 1998 as a city-run park. It closed in October of 2019 and reopened in April 2020, and is now run by the Canadian World Promotion Association which operates the park independently after receiving the buildings and other facilities free of charge from the city.[3][4]
