Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura

Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura recreates a castle town of the Edo period on a wooded site near Kinugawa Onsen, complete with merchant streets, a magistrate's office, ninja houses and a red-light quarter, all staffed by costumed residents who stay in character. Visitors watch ninja action, oiran courtesan processions and comedic theatre, try shuriken throwing and can be dressed as a samurai, ninja, townsperson or even a princess for the day. It is as much a cultural attraction as an amusement park, giving a hands-on sense of daily life in old Japan. The park is a short bus ride from Kinugawa-Onsen Station and pairs naturally with the shrines of Nikko.
