Edo Wonderland is another theme park in Kinugawa Onsen (鬼怒川温泉), Tochigi prefecture (栃木県), Japan. Just like Tobu World Square, this theme park is accessible by bus from Kinugawa Onsen station (鬼怒川温泉駅) of the Tobu line (東武線). One-way fare costs JPY400.
But because of our Kinugawa Theme Park Pass, our bus rides were free between the train station and the theme parks. The admission to the theme parks were also included, so we didn't have to pay for our tickets, which usually cost JPY4500.
The English name of the theme park may not be explicit, but the Japanese name - translated literally as Nikko Edo Village - is straight to the point. The park is set in Japan's Edo period, so the attractions and events are mainly focused on ninjas and geishas. We got to watch a ninja show and also the water show, but taking pictures were not allowed inside the presentation halls.
In between shows, we were able to see a parade that went around the park. I didn't exactly understand what they wanted to show in the parade, but it was interesting especially their traditional costumes. Also, the park was not lacking in souvenir shops, food stalls and small amusement places like the shuriken throwing shop where kids lined up.
