Photo Dump: Eiga Mura

I went to Eiga Mura a couple weeks ago with a family that's friends (related? I'm embarassingly unclear on this point) with my homestay family. Eiga Mura is a sort of theme park that doubles as an Edo-period set for the historical dramas that are always playing on Japanese TV. Lots of old-style buildings and streets paved with nothing but dirt. We saw a rehearsal of sorts. We saw a chanbara play involving the warlord and dynasty-founder Tokugawa Ieyasu and his loyal retainer Hattori Hanzo (not this one) fighting, oh, some evil dude. We saw a ton of incongruous cosplaying teenagers.
