Edo Wonderland spans a site area of 495,000m2 (122.3 acres / 49.5 hectares). The park's design is based on the Edo period's golden era known as Genroku. Edo Wonderland hosts a wide variety of Edo period architecture from rural lodgings to urban samurai residences and government buildings. It is populated by staff in Edo period attire, reenacting the speech and behaviour of Edo era citizens from lower, middle and upper classes. The park has seven theatres featuring traditionally themed shows including plays, ninja action and oiran shows combined with outdoor live shows, street performances, parades, seasonal festivals and special events. Edo Wonderland also has a range of visitor experiences for adults and children including ninja workshops, Japanese traditional archery and shuriken throwing.
History
Edo Wonderland was established on April 23, 1986, in Fujiwara-cho, Shioya-gun, Tochigi Prefecture, in what is now known as the Nikko Kinugawa district. Three more parks were constructed in Hokkaido, Kanazawa and Mie prefectures, but they were sold in the 2000s.
Edo Wonderland Studio
Edo Wonderland contains film studios and a large open set often used for jidaigeki historical films and TV drama series, both domestic and international. The theme park itself, due to its unique atmosphere, is featured on domestic and international travel, culture and variety shows.
Mascot
Nyanmage is the mascot of Edo Wonderland, who is a samurai cat. His name is derived from "nyan" (the sound of a cat equivalent to "meow" used in English) and "mage", the name of the samurai topknot hairstyle.
Language support
As of 2014, printed park and timetable information is available in English, French, German, Thai, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. English speaking staff are available. Restaurant menus are available in English and Japanese.
