Esashi-Fujiwara Heritage Park

Situated in Esashi of Iwate, Esashi-Fujiwara Heritage Park is a theme park where you can experience the history and culture of the Tohoku region from the ancient to the medieval era. Inside this more or less 20-hectare large park, 120 historical buildings are reconstructed and used as a filming location for many period TV shows and movies. Furthermore, you can experience how Japanese people lived during the medieval era. It feels as if you can travel back in time to see Japan in another period.
