The theme park was very dated and slow paced. The Evangelion attraction was underwhelming and boring; you just walk through up the stairs, sit on a chair that rocks you for a second, and take a picture (don't have high hopes!), archery was fun, as well as the ninja games. The show is worth seeing. Beware of the TORISEE YAKITORI RESTAURANT!! My entire family fell ill after eating the chicken yakitori and giant chicken on a sword! Food poisoning exactly 6 hours after eating there! (I ate the salad and French fries so I was not affected, thank God!! So I could take care of them). They all had explosive diarrhea for 12 hours, son and daughter vomited profusely. All we can do is hydrate with liters and liters of Aquarius. Tylenol for the fever. It's been 24 hours, everyone is still resting in the hotel.
Sadly there are very few interesting games. The puzzles are very hard. The unlimited ticket and even the basic one is expensive for taking pictures. The fun games are not included like the arrows. Most of the place is empty or nobody there. Tea ceremony you have to pay extra, dressing with a kimono extra. Open set for shooting lacked equipment. The ninja battlee is good unfortunately the guy welcoming and giving instructions is not nice nor that he understands english. Finally there is a step right outside the exit of the venue and that is a hazard. The ninja labyrinth is good mostly instructions in japanese. The 3D is good. Signs needed to look for spots
What an amazing experience! Once you get tickets, you get access to the park, empty sets, exhibits (Kamen Rider and Super Sentai), meet and greets, and the timed shows. They have a couple of attractions that are paid like Kimono Rentals, Ninja Escape Room, and Haunted House to name a few. You can walk around and the park is Edo era style. There are restaurants too.
One of the best way to spend a half day. We did in the park in about 5-6 hours.
Such a cool experience! It was like being in old Japan. The haunted house was great, so different from American ones. And there were great areas for fans of Super Sentai/Kamen Rider and Neon Genesis Evangelion.
l enjoyed my visit to #Toei Kyoto Studio Park and found the experience entertaining. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are welcoming especially two ladies by the door wearing costumes, were lovely. I appreciated the traditional sets and performances, which offer a glimpse into Japanese historical dramas and ninja culture. While I personally felt the park is especially enjoyable for children and ninja enthusiasts, it is still a pleasant place to visit and experience a unique side of Japanese entertainment.
