Edo Wonderland
Edo Wonderland, a living-history theme park on the northeastern outskirts of Nikko, re-creates an 18th-century Japanese village. The complex includes sculpted gardens with waterfalls and ponds and vintage buildings, where actors in traditional dress stage martial arts exhibitions, historical theatrical performances, and comedy acts. You can even observe Japanese tea ceremony rituals in gorgeous tatami-floor houses, as well as people dressed as geisha and samurai. Strolling stuffed animal characters and acrobatic ninjas keep kids happy. Edo Wonderland also has restaurants and small food stalls serving cuisine like yakisoba (fried soba) and dango (dumplings).
