京都の町並みがセブにもやってきた!?

セブ島のBabagという場所に、まるで京都の町並みを表現するかのような、テーマパークができました。

ここで地元のフィリピンの人たちは京都らしさを満喫できます。

園内はLITTLE KYTOと呼ばれるお寺を模した建物や、フラワーガーデン、飲食店も入っています。
TERIYAKIや「いらっしゃいませ」という日本語も沢山使われていて、リアルな日本らしさを感じられそうです。

驚きなのは大仏やハチ公の銅像も飾られていること!

何故、ハチ公…という疑問もありますが、日本らしさを感じられればいいというなんともフィリピン人らしさを感じます。

日本人として一度は訪れてみたい場所ですね!
