What other travelers are saying about Toei Kyoto Studio Park
Well I can't say it's a 5/5, but that would depend on what you're after. The EVA is there, that what I went for, the Yokai fest had good costumes and show. Other than that the set isn't bad, but it's rather just a set. Walk around once and you're done with it. Souvenir shop is good and has shuriken you probably can't buy because of plane policies. It's not bad, just not really a must-visit. Rather if you want something a bit different and/or love NGE as me.
I was a little disheartened reading some of the negative and childish reviews about this place, but it’s been the best experience I’ve had in Kyoto so far!
Aside from the entrance fee, the majority of things are free: the EVA exhibit including a free picture, the awesome samurai action show which has choreographed fight scenes, acrobatics, and the amazing Super Sentai/ Kamen Rider exhibits are totally free. Of course you can also pay for the outfits and certain photo shoots, but is not necessary.
The staff also go above and beyond to immerse everyone by staying in character even during silly moments, loved it!
Don’t listen to the negative reviews on here and visit!
Very kid oriented, would be a fun afternoon for a newer family.
Doesn't have many Toei IP's, but there's plenty of stores where you can buy demon slayer coats, foam swords, and ninja clothes and masks for kids all across the themed park.
I personally went for Evangellion, as I think large robots are cool, and I was happy! It's not thrilling to me as I haven't seen the series, but my friend who has says, "Yeah! It's pretty cool." So take that for what you will.
Upstairs there's a parkour course, a great option if you're kids want to feel like ninjas and get some running in, and there's a huge selection of power ranger costumes on display from all the generations, something / certainly enjoyed looking at.
Great for kids! Might be a fun date, also perfectly enjoyable solo with some earbuds and a fun playlist.
Would recommend, especially for the price!
Super fun park. We went during the Yokai festival and it was raining so the show was upstairs and it was still very fun. The rain calmed down afterwards and we were happy to see some Yokai wanding around the park. They were all very cute and nice and agreed to photos. We managed to get our pic with the evangelion, did the stamp rally, caught a samurai show and had some of the Yokai themed food but we had no idea the park closed at 5:00pm. We had planned to be there all day but when we tried to sit down for some Ramen she Informed us they close at 4:30pm and the attractions were also closed. We thought maybe it was just to get ready for dinner or something then everyone started leaving the park. That's on us for not looking but something to be aware of.
This place is not widely publicise. I went there during the Yokai 2025 show and it was amazing. For fans who watches anime and know much about Yokai. It is an interactive space for people of all ages. The kids seems to be having fun time trying out the various interactive games. So parents might love this space. For those who don't really watch anime, u might wanna skip this location. U can buy tickets on the spot. Overall, a pleasant space.
