basic information

The Toei Uzumasa Eigamura (also known as Kyoto Studio Park and Toei Movie Land) is a film set and theme park in one. It features a collection of replicas of traditional Japanese buildings which are used as setting for historical movies and television dramas.

There are whole streets depicting Edo Period town scenes, a replica of the old Nihonbashi Bridge, a traditional court house, a Meiji Period police box and part of the former Yoshiwara red light district. Actual film shooting takes place occasionally, and park visitors are welcome to observe the action.

It is also possible to dress up and get photographed in more than 30 attires including samurai, geisha and ninja attires. The cost varies from 8500 to 16000 Yen depending on the attire.
