On November 23, 2025, we happened to be there during Japan's three-day weekend, which shortened our time at the attractions. However, our tour guide adjusted the schedule to ensure we had enough time to see everything. Although we still didn't have enough time for Toshogu Shrine, the guide still shared some historical stories to help us understand the site better! Our guide, Sophie, was very professional and experienced! Highly recommended! Autumn Foliage: The autumn leaves along Irohazaka were almost all gone, and the Red Bridge was just beginning to fall! Beautiful sunlight!
Before getting married, I had been here several times for my tour bus business, but I had never been inside the village, so it was a long-awaited visit. There was an event held over the long weekend, and many people with dogs came to the village, and my dog was excited the whole time. Even just walking around, people would call out to my dog, calling out "Hey dog!" just as if he were a small child. Usually, when traveling with a dog, you always have to be considerate of others and take a step back, but here, dogs are welcomed, which is a heartfelt pleasure, and we had a really fun time. Above all, all the staff care about Edo Village, and you can sense their determination to make it a lively place. Both adults and dogs enjoyed themselves, and it was a great memory.
Long queues already formed starting at 9 AM, saving you time on ticket purchases. If you have a travel pass, you get a 10% discount if you buy tickets on-site! But you still have to queue! The cable car is small, so it moves slowly!
