What is “Yokai Wonderland 2026”?
This isn’t an event you simply watch.
It’s an interactive exhibition where the real fun is exploring the town and searching for what’s hidden!
At first glance, it looks like the usual Edo town.
You can enjoy all of Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura’s regular programs as always, including theater performances, the Oiran Procession, and the Ninja Grand Theater.
But don’t be fooled.
Yokai are lurking in hiding all over town.
And the highlight of it all: two special days, Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1!
More than 20 Official Edo Yokai will gather in the town!
With the “Yokai Procession” parading through the streets and the eerily lively “Yokai Gambling Den,” the whole town is guaranteed to be turned upside down.
Leave your worries behind and come join the fun in Edo this October!
*The Official Edo Yokai may look scary, but they’re friendly! There are no jump scares or horror elements, so children are welcome to join with peace of mind.
*We apologize, but the Yokai Wonderland pamphlet and the walk-around events are available in Japanese only. However, the regular programs and the Yokai Procession on the special days can be enjoyed regardless of language.
Find the Yokai Hiding
All Over Town
Yokai are on display inside buildings draped with a cloth bearing the character "妖" (yō). Feel free to take photos!
*Please do not touch the yokai.
*The walk-around missions are available in Japanese only.
Special Yokai Menu
Yokai-themed dishes are appearing at restaurants and food stalls around the Edo town! Yokai-related souvenirs are also available at the souvenir shops.
Encounter Yokai
As you stroll through the town, you may run into yokai. If you want to meet lots of them, come on the special days, October 31 and November 1!
*Some of the yokai you meet may be fellow guests rather than staff.
Transform into a Yokai with Ease!
At the costume studio in town, where you can dress up in Edo-period kimono, you can transform into a fox spirit or a fallen samurai ghost. You can also become a yokai in no time with the body stickers sold at one of the souvenir shops.
*Reservations are not available for these services.
Okashi o yokosanya, ayakasu zo!
(“Give me sweets, or I’ll bewitch you!”)
The magic words here aren’t “Trick or Treat” but “Okashi o yokosanya, ayakasu zo!”
On the special days, say these words to the Official Yokai in the Edo town and challenge them to a game. Win, and you’ll get sweets!
But if you lose, they might take the sweets you’re carrying!
What Are Yokai?
Yokai are mysterious creatures and spirits from Japanese folklore. Some are mischievous tricksters, some are a little spooky, and others are surprisingly charming. For centuries, people in Japan have told stories about them to explain strange happenings in everyday life, and they still appear in art, festivals, and pop culture today.
