Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura
日光江戸村
A theme park recreating an Edo-period townscape, where visitors can enjoy ninja shows, samurai-drama-style attractions, and hands-on activities such as dressing in period costume. It's a place to experience Edo-era culture and entertainment as a family.
A recreated Edo-period town
The park recreates the streetscape of an Edo-period town in detail, including merchant houses, samurai residences, and a red-light district, allowing visitors to feel as though they've stepped back in time. Staff dressed as townspeople and samurai add to the immersive atmosphere throughout the grounds.
Ninja shows and performances
Popular ninja action shows and oiran (courtesan) parades are performed multiple times a day. The dynamic ninja shows especially, featuring exciting stunts and choreography, are enjoyable for children and adults alike.
Hands-on experiences in period costume
The park offers costume rental experiences letting visitors dress as a ninja, princess, or oiran, along with workshops for activities like ninja star (shuriken) throwing, making for an interactive, hands-on visit rather than simple sightseeing.
