Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
The ninja show is the main event — arrive 20 minutes early to get front-row seats where kids can see the smoke bombs and sword fights.
The costume rental (1,500 yen) turns your kid into a samurai or princess — worth every yen for the photos on the period film sets.
The wire-flying experience is for ages 5+ and 120cm tall — kids get strapped into a harness and 'fly' 3 meters in the air.

A Real Parent's Story
Samurai training, ninja shows, and a real film set
“My 7-year-old got to 'fly' on wires like a ninja. My jaw dropped. Hers too — from joy.”

We almost skipped this because 'it's just a movie studio.' It's not. The ninja show is genuinely entertaining — smoke bombs, roof jumps, sword fights with real choreography. The Edo-period street set is like walking into a movie, and the costumes kids can wear are high-quality (not cheap plastic). My daughter did the flying experience and still talks about it. The park feels a bit worn in places, but the authenticity more than makes up for it.
