About STUDIO SEDIC Shonai Outdoor Shooting Location
Many filming locations for movies are outdoor shooting sites.
Details
STUDIO SEDIC is located at the foot of Mount Tsukiyama and is an outdoor filming location built for movie shoots that is open to the public.
The expansive 88-hectare site features themed scenes including a fishing village, a farming village, a post town, and mountain villages. So far, many films such as "Departures," "Rurouni Kenshin," and the "Yuusha Yoshihiko" series have been shot here.
Wearing a kimono or ninja costume to experience a role-playing photo shoot that feels like traveling through time is also very popular (prior application is required).
There is a park bus operating within the premises, allowing for a more efficient tour of the outdoor filming locations. During film shoots, the filming content may be open for viewing; if it is not open or there are special regulations, please follow the instructions of the staff on site.
Highlights
You can visit the film set used for shooting period dramas. You can transform into a character and take photos in the scene (prior application required). The roads for shooting are unpaved, so please wear suitable walking shoes.
