What other travelers are saying about Toei Kyoto Studio Park
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.
Cool experience, highlight was the evangelion exhibit for me. We went in summer so it was very hot out which prevented us from wanting to stick around too long. It being included in the Kansai fun pass was cool and felt like a worthwhile stop, however we feel it would be more enjoyable in cooler weather.
We happened to come across this park on TikTok and knew we had to take the family here. It definitely proved to be a gem! The entire staff, environments, love shows/photo ops, food, merchandise, and extra activities were soooo amazing! Highly recommend the ramen shop to eat and watching the Shinobi Highway live performance (spectacular!). The Super Sentai (Power Rangers) and Kamen Rider displays inside the main building are also a MUST! The other great part is it wasn't overly crowded like everywhere else we have been so that was refreshing. The only recommendation is for haunted house to have a little more lighting because it was extremely hard to see the displays, most of them were not visible in the darkness. Overall, amazing and must-see attraction!!!
TOEI Kyoto Studio Park was an unforgettable experience for the whole family! It strikes the perfect balance between traditional Kyoto culture and kid-friendly fun. From ninjas casually roaming the streets to one of the most fun (and genuinely terrifying!) ghost houses I’ve ever been through, there’s something for everyone.
What really stood out was the mix of indoor and outdoor attractions, which was a lifesaver during the hot summer months. The indoor areas had a great variety of mazes and interactive games that kept the kids entertained for hours—and honestly, we adults had just as much fun!
Whether you’re a fan of samurai films, want to step back in time to Edo-period Japan, or just looking for a unique and entertaining day out with the family, TOEI Studio Park delivers. Highly recommended!
