Toei Kyoto Studio Park Photo Tour (Terrain Making References)

Japan?s first Prime Minister, Ito Hirobumi, was raised in this house and lived here until 1868; this was the house of a low-ranking poor samurai in Hagi, capital of the Choshu Domain (Yamaguchi Prefecture). As you can see, it?s much smaller and shabbier than the Tenmyo farmhouse from Ota-ku, Tokyo.

I loved visiting Toei studios... when we went it was the weekend that Universal Tokyo was opening, was relatively quiet and we were interviewed by local news... the ghost house was brilliant fun as well.

Do they still have the shuriken shooting range (a mad concept that health and safety overlooked)?

I had fun at the ghost house, that was creepy! I'm not sure about shuriken range, I wasn't looking for it. I went on a rainy morning, which is why it was empty.

did they still have the monster in the fire pool?

I'll try and find my pics when I get home... the theatre bit was cool, the evil Daimyo was so panto villain it was great...

Thank you for sharing those photographs,  hopefully the other commentators can provide some other threads with their contributions.

the only pics I can find on my phone of Movieland are my debut on Japanese news and the evil Daimyo dude in one of the shows who was very cool...





looking back, still damn weird that they had throwing star shooting galleries...

It's all about feeling like you're in the movie. I find it rather charming.
