東映太秦映画村自転車でToei Kyoto Studio Park is a theme park in western Kyoto city that opened in in 1975 following the closing several years before of what had been one of Japan's great film studios.
Following the Great Kanto Earthquake, in 1923, which destroyed much of Tokyo, the film industry fled to Kyoto. Kyoto became the Hollywood of Asia, where most of the great Japanese films of almost 50 years were shot, either on location or at the studios.
Many of those were "jidaigeki" (period or samurai dramas).
At Toei Kyoto Studio Park, visitors can watch filming of period dramas and television programs. The park is still a working film studio.
In addition, you can put on period costumes.
For children, there are many game and animation related attractions.
