It is situated in Toei Company's Kyoto Studio where numerous period dramas have been filmed. Visitors are occasionally able to watch the filming of TV shows and movies. The park is designed to replicate an Edo period village, with costumed actors, themed restaurants, and traditional-style buildings. The actors at the park are often real period drama actors. Seizō Fukumoto, who starred in numerous period dramas (including The Last Samurai), was a performer at the park. Visitors are encouraged, but not required, to dress in kimono or other traditional clothes. Guests can rent kimono and period costumes in the park.
