5.00Surprisingly interesting and fun. I thought it would be touristy and cheesy but it was actually interesting and fun. Staff and friendly and show a lot of pride in what they do. Highly recommended.
If you have time, it’s a nice spot

4.00Nice 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.

5.00A 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.
Very special theme park

4.00For Hokkaido theme park, the theme of the Danube era, the staff dressed in antique costumes. Introduction to a visit to the ninja-themed exhibition hall. As for the Ninja Show, visitors who do not speak Japanese may feel bored because it is conducted in Japanese.
Very fun for kids

3.00My 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.
This is a recommended destination.

4.00A man and a woman in their 40s visited for the first time on weekdays. While driving around, I saw a sign that said "From Here to the Edo Period" and made a quick stop, perhaps because of the light rainy weather, there were few people around, so I was able to walk freely and enjoy the performance. A ninja experience cabin? - Yeah. I have good memories of my experience with Yumiya and Shuriken in , and I was lucky enough to win a target and get 500 ryo. The staff dressed as samurai and ninja in the village, and I thought that if I had children I would have enjoyed it very much. This time, we gave it a four-star rating because it was raining and we couldn't see any outdoor ninja attractions. The weather is so helpless that I will save five stars as an expectation for the next time I come back.
Enjoyed the theatre shows!

5.00Went 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.

5.00We 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.
I really enjoyed it.

5.00The girls in our family love ninjas, and it was their first time to visit Date Jidaimura. The performers have withdrawn from the shop to create an atmosphere of the Edo period. The Karakuri Yashiki ninja show was acrobatic and funny, and I really enjoyed it.
