Obviously a typo (why would you post an obvious typo in your header?)

But for some etymological fun assume / were の leaving ワール alone, which turns out (check Bing translate or at Monash) to be J-shorthand for the ancient Indian city Haridwar, which in Sanskrit equates to 'Gateway to Lord Vishnu' (Wikipedia) which in turn would leave you with a site header suggesting 'Japan's Gateway to the Lord Vishnu' which probably wasn't what the site author had in mind. :-)
