At a Glance
Toei Kyoto Studio Park is a film set and theme park in Kyoto, built inside Toei's Kyoto Studio, where many period dramas have been filmed. It opened in 1975 and is laid out as an Edo-period village, with traditional-style buildings, costumed actors and themed restaurants. Filming of television shows and movies can occasionally be watched.
A film studio has stood on the site since 1926, and Toei took it over in 1951. Opening it to the public was a last-resort move at a time when period dramas were losing their audience, and it drew more than 70,000 visitors in its first three days. Today there are ninja shows, a ninja escape room and a haunted house, as well as tea ceremony and Noh. Kimono and period costumes can be rented, and the Evangelion Kyoto Base features a 15-meter statue of EVA-01.
