Japan opens samurai theme park with “adults only” events

by

A new theme park lets visitors experience life in Edo-era Japan. Guests can participate in interactive performances and even enjoy historically-themed activities designed for adults.

This exciting attraction brings a real samurai movie set to life, letting guests walk through a world of ninja action, traditional games, and interactive cultural experiences, geared mostly towards adults.

Fans of samurai culture can now immerse themselves in incredibly detailed experiences. These range from live performances happening all around city streets to renting kimonos and participating in interactive training. It’s like stepping into a real-life samurai world, similar to the show Westworld, but without the violence.

Samurai theme park lets you step back in time

The new Uzumasa Kyoto Village theme park in Kyoto will open on March 28th. It will transform a former movie set into a place where visitors can experience what life was like during the samurai period.

One popular event is called “Evening Gambling,” and it’s designed to feel like a traditional gambling house from the Edo period. To prevent any actual conflicts, the park allows visitors to use real money – a good idea if you want to avoid getting cheated by a dishonest ninja or swordsman.

But the biggest draw is the Adults-Only Torture House. Here, visitors become ‘suspects’ and are guided through a mansion displaying historically accurate torture devices.

Denfaminicogamer reports that the experience involves simulated torture, but surprisingly, it’s completely painless. This allows people to explore a difficult situation without actually feeling any harm.

Once you’ve had your fill of excitement and thrills, you can relax and enjoy a performance called “The Bride’s Procession and Cherry Blossom Banquet.” It’s a show about strange rumors circulating in Kyoto on a wedding day.

Watch local police investigate the scene, then enjoy an exciting sword fight as part of the wedding parade. The event will also feature a ninja performance and a large exhibition honoring a century of Japanese historical dramas.

Tickets became available to purchase online starting February 19th, and the park officially opened its doors to visitors on March 28th.
