Touring Tokyo and a Journey through Japan-- these are two books I have written about my travels in Japan. Check these out!!!
Edo Wonderland is a unique cultural theme park that is set in the context of the Edo period (1600s to 1800s). The park is divided into 5 sections: ninja village, merchant quarter, samurai mansion. The park consists of a beautiful quaint village quietly nestled in the stunning and picturesque mountains in Nikko. The park is located about 2.5 hours north of Tokyo. You can find theaters, exhibits, and interactive experiences at this magnificent park, the inn town, and main road.
You can step back to the 17th century and transform yourself into a samurai, lord, ninja, policeman, or princess by dressing up as one of the characters. Walking around the park wearing this costume is a powerful experience as Japanese humbly bow to you. You can experience the excitement of having photos made with villagers, ninjas, and others at the park.
