Must not miss this place - A must go when you are in this area. Though its more of a touristy theme park, you do feel like you are transported back in time to historical japan. The staff there are all dressed in period clothings and lots of eductional spots around the park on different aspects of historical japan. There is a place to rent clothes for appox 20min duration at 35,000 to 47,000 yen depending on package. Quite a good place for photoshoots amid the garden and villiage styled background. There are 3 types of shows in winter (samurai, oiran, ninja) and one extra outdoor show in the other seasons. Overall oiran and ninja shows must not be missed. There are some food outlets in the park as well, selling ramen, udon, soba and dango. Reasonably priced too.

Enjoyed the theatre shows! - Went there for a day trip after visiting Noboribetsu's hot springs. Well constructed village that let you experience the culture during Japan's Edo period! Big praise to their theatre shows. Definitely worth a visit if you're near the area!

A day with samurai and its geisha. Splendid time at the maze. - We visited this park with taxi from our hotel. You will have to ask the front office to call a taxi going home. However there is bus stop regularly coming to this park. Should check the schedule ahead. The park with comedy, theatrical open space ninja shows are good to go. The conversation are all in japanese, abit hard to follow for foreigners without japanese skills We tried the maze. Amazing. A bit light headed at the shaking room. A must try maze experience. If you are not brave, tried it with groups of friends.

Love it here, totally worth going to... - <p>Love it here, totally worth going to find out more about the old Japanese culture and folk tales!!! 10/10</p>

If you have time, it’s a nice spot - Nice incursion on the way to the bear farm, if you have time on the way from Sapporo to Noboreibetsu it’s worth the stop, it’s basically a reconstruction of shops and houses from Edi period with shows to be performed every hour.

Ninja - A good lunch followed by a walk thru the villages and a ninja show. Very nice landscape during our visit in winter with good amount of snow

Very fun for kids - My nine-year-old son rated this theme park as the best part of our trip to Hokkaido. He super loved the two ninja shows (one indoors and one outdoors). Both were fun and action-packed. They gave out laminated sheets in English summarising the story for the indoor show, but we couldn't understand the dialogue. It didn't matter though, the action on its own was entertaining. However, skip the culture show if you don't understand Japanese because it consisted of live interaction between a host and a selected member of the audience. We couldn't understand a thing and left halfway. Another super fun part of the park is the ninja maze, which is a house containing a series of trick doors, traps, and slanted floors designed to make you confused. It was so good, we went through it many rounds. The ninja resource centre, which contained information about ninjas, was also really informative and worth a look. There was also a horror house, which combined moving, animatronic ghouls and demons with special effects and lighting (quite fun), and a cat house, which contained the same, but in the form of cats. There are several eateries in the park and to my surprise, the prices of food weren't exorbitant and the food was actually quite tasty. my son also enjoyed being able to rent a ninja outfit and roaming the park with it. (ninja sandals at extra cost. Swords sold separately.) Overall, this theme park is really quite fun for those with kids. And even for those without kids but who are interested in ninjas.
