Bring out the Action Star in you! Be a Star in Full Ninja Regalia! Pose and shoot at Kyoto’s famed Toei Kyoto Studio Park and at the Grand Nijo Castle.
One of the hottest trends in Japan these days is Cosplay (or Costume Play)
inspired by the hugely popular Anime and Manga of Japan. Participants dress like specific characters and then join with a group of enthusiasts, all in costume, where they are encouraged to strut their stuff, completely in character.
At the Hotel Granvia Kyoto we are thrilled to offer our guests the chance to become a Ninja for a day. In full Ninja costume, guests will have their photos taken at the famed Toei Kyoto Studio Park, the popular Nijo Castle and at several points in the city. Dressed in your Ninja garb, you’ll be taken through a downtown shopping mall where you can shop or just enjoy your ‘stardom’ as you make your way to the other main event of the day, a dinner at the newly opened, trendy Ninja Restaurant.
The hotel will prepare and arrange everything for you including your costume, private transportation with an English-speaking driver, a professional photographer, and your meal at the restaurant. It’s a totally unique experience that we will be happy to arrange completely for you.
