Kyoto's Toei film studio has since 1975 been part theme park, part film studio.
In that year, with the film industry fleeing Kyoto for Tokyo, the Toei Kyoto Studio Park was born.
It is located not far from Koryuji Temple, JR Hanazono Station, and is on a stop on the Keifuku Line.
It is a good day out, especially for those with kids in tow.
There are many performances, lots of information on the bygone film era, actual sets where samurai films are still filmed.
