What other travelers are saying about Toei Kyoto Studio Park
Even though I bought my tickets ahead of time, it probably wasn't needed. There was no line when I arrived.
If you are an Eva or Super Sentai fan, there will be lots to see and explore. Not so much for the other people you drag along. I recommend just making this a brief stop on your way to the bamboo forest to the west.
Our children needed a break from temples and shrines so we decided to spend the afternoon here and it was a great success. Included with the entrance fee for the kids were super fun activities that they loved (adults had to pay a reduced fare which did not cover for the activities). And they could do them multiple times. We watched a super fun ninja show (though in Japanese, without translation, the point was to watch the acrobatics) and had lunch at one of the restaurants there. Definitely recommend.
Uzumasa Toei Studio Park is a phenomenal place for visitors of all ages. I came here with an international exchange group of 10+ participants and they deeply enjoyed the multimedia fusion of activities ranging from obstacle courses to live action samurai demonstrations.
As our program delved into history of the Edo period, it was wonderful to receive a visual tour of the sets utilized in classic Japanese historical movies. There are plenty of rides/interactions indoor and outdoors for folks who are needing a reprieve from the unforgiving summer sun rays.
My favourite aspects of the Studio Park were the Edo period village simulation and the haunted house tour. Beware that the haunted house is quite scary, very dimly lit, and may not be appropriate for children under the age of 16 due to the fright.
Whether you are interested in history, religious culture, anime, or simply interested in exploring the expansivities of Kyoto, I highly recommend making this stop along your journey.
The scenery is quite nice, we have been to the yokai show, we expected much more than a 10 minute show, so unless you are a kid or a huge fan of this whole thing, you shouldn’t go there as an adult, save your money.
Went to TOEI Kyoto Studio Park for the Yokai Parade. It didn’t disappoint cos it was one of the best experiences.
The Ninja show is a must go! Very entertaining. Loads of picture taking place as it brings us back to Edo period:
