Splendid Edo Wonderland

Step into the history of Japan

George Popescu   - 1 min read

The wonderful town going back to the Edo period is a sight that must be experienced by any visitors to Japan. You will be able to enjoy the atmosphere as well as the sights and sounds of the village, including the denizens living there as well as various shows. There's options for watching two different ninja shows as well as the famous geisha entertaining the lord show and the "oiran" parade, which is the name for the highest ranking courtesan. For the children there's the Nyanmage theater, which is playing the movie staring the main defender of the village and local mascot throughout the day. There's also various museums, a horror house, as well as a place where children can practice throwing shurikens, better known as ninja stars, as well as archery.

I highly recommend going to this website to purchase the dual pass for both this park and the Tobu World Square Park.
