Toei Kyoto Studio Park To Go Cool This Summer

太秦映画村クールに変身　水が飛ぶ時代劇ショーなど企画

Toei Kyoto Studio Park is going to get a lot cooler from July 13 until September 8.

In addition to its usual attractions and shows, the Park is going to add a show with water. Water will spray visitors during a popular samurai show.

To recreate the Edo Period (1603 - 1868) - in which there were no air conditioners - the Park is going to be incorporating all kinds of old-school methods of staying cool without using electricity.

They include "kakigori" shaved ice topped with namahachi (sweet cinnamon buns).

The "Chanbara" sword fighting show will include a "water platoon." You were warned.

Toei Kyoto Studio Park

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.
