This working film studio turned theme park charges 2,400 JPY (~$16.50) for adults and 1,200 JPY (~$8.25) for children ages 3-15, with kids under 3 free. Open 9am-5pm most days (check for closures on shooting days). Kids love the ninja and samurai shows that happen multiple times daily — grab a schedule at the entrance. Skip the paid costume rental if you are on a budget as prices run 1,500-3,000 JPY (~$10-$20). The indoor exhibition halls are fully air-conditioned and stroller-friendly, making this an excellent rainy day choice.
