If you go there by car, the car park costs you 1,500 yen for a day. It is a fixed price and no discount for shorter hours. To enter the studio, they charge 2,200 yen per adult and 1,100 yen per child (1,170 yen for teenagers). On top of that many attractions are not free and you will pay somewhere around 500 yen per attraction per head. If you are planning to spend more than 2,000 yen for attractions, you should get discounted tickets available inside the studio park (four 500 yen tickets cost 1,600 yen). So you have to be ready to spend some money if you are to visit this place.
Despite I feel they charge too much, not all but some of their attractions and the Edo-period Japanese town are enjoyable. When you are inside their set, you feel like you will be in a Japanese town that existed a couple of hundred years ago.
Our children were particularity interested in Ninja related activities so we went to their Ninja school and Ninja house. We did not really enjoy Ninja school, but Ninja house was an interesting one. Though, if you have two children and mom and dad want to go into the house with them, you will have to be ready to spend 500 yen per head.
We did not have lots of time to enjoy the studio and we felt we needed a whole day to really enjoy it. We will plan to revisit the studio one day.
