Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura

Edo Wonderland was established on April 23, 1986, in Fujiwara-cho, Shioya-gun, Tochigi Prefecture, in what is now known as the Nikko Kinugawa district. Three more parks were constructed in Hokkaido, Kanazawa and Mie prefectures, but they were sold in the 2000s. ==Edo Wonderland Studio==

Edo Wonderland contains film studios and a large open set often used for jidaigeki historical films and TV drama series, both domestic and international. The theme park itself, due to its unique atmosphere, is featured on domestic and international travel, culture and variety shows. ==Mascot==

The mascot of Edo Wonderland is Nyanmage, a samurai cat. Its name is derived from "nyan" (the sound a cat makes in Japanese, equivalent to "meow" English) and "mage", the topknot hairstyle. ==Language support==

As of 2014, printed park and timetable information is available in English, French, German, Thai, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. English speaking staff are available. Restaurant menus are available in English and Japanese. ==In popular culture==
