Japan day 17: Toei-Eigamura Kyoto studio film set

We spent the whole day at Toei-Eigamura Kyoto studio film set, which had a set for ninja/edo period movies. You could wonder around the set and enter the houses. This is the interior of one of the houses. 
There were also a couple of shows we attended. This one was a ninja show. There were some stunts involved and it was very dramatic and easy to follow despite our extremely limited understanding of Japanese. We also went to a show where they showed us how they film a ninja movie, like the should effects and tricks they use.
There were also ninja's on the roofs of some of the buildings, which also includes a robotic ninja which crawled along some wires. There was a real attention to detail and lots to keep us busy. It was surprising that the place was practically empty as far as visitors go.
There was an assortment of things at the film set, as well as small museums and attractions. This one was dedicated to anime and there was others for the power rangers and ninja movies.
