Visitors can wander through recreated Edo-period streets, watch live samurai and ninja performances, and even dress up in costume. The park offers behind-the-scenes glimpses of filmmaking, including special effects shows and a museum of movie props. It's a fun, interactive experience for fans of Japanese cinema and history.
