About
Uzumasa Kyoto Village

Uzumasa Kyoto Village (managed by Toei Uzumasa Eigamura Co.,Ltd.) was established in 1975 and is the only theme park in Japan where guests can experience the filming of Jidaigeki (period dramas/films). At its peak, more than 200 films per year were filmed there. Guests can walk freely around the park’s open sets while feeling the atmosphere of Edo-period Japan, and also enjoy a variety of events and attractions such as the Kai Kai Yokai festival, ninja shows, dressing up as samurai and geisha, and more.

Enjoy the new park at night as well

A sophisticated nighttime experience awaits, illuminated by the soft glow of Japanese lanterns. Discover a new way to enjoy Kyoto, with a different atmosphere and immersive experience than what is available during the daytime.

BRAND RENEWAL

Explanation of the New Name

With Phase 1 re-opening, the name of the park will be changed to Uzumasa Kyoto Village.
Uzumasa is considered sacred ground for Japanese cinema, as it was where the studios for eight film companies were located. This special place embodies the very history of Japanese film. The inclusion of “Uzumasa” is a reflection of our desire for visitors to more deeply and broadly experience the film culture and local history that have existed here for so many years.
“Village” was included to signify the spirit of warmth and bonds between people, as well as the preservation of traditional culture.

Brand Colors

Ink
Black

Ink black evokes both Japanese tradition and the “fade to black” often seen in movies.
It is the color often seen on the signs that blend into Kyoto‘s traditional streetscapes, the calligraphy on the open sets on the grounds of Toei Kyoto Studio Park, and also the color that is reminiscent of the anticipation-filled moment of darkness right before the start of a movie or stage performance.

Silk

This is a shade of white with a slightly yellowish tinge, like that of white glossed silk.
The origins of Kyoto‘s famous Nishijin-ori textiles are said to lie in the introduction of silk materials to the area by the Hata (秦) clan. This area was named “Uzumasa (太秦)”, which means “the base of the Hata clan,” and thus the silk color can be said to symbolize Kyoto‘s silk textiles and the traditions of Uzumasa.
