Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Studio

4.0

This is a theme park that has repurposed the open set that served as the filming location in the 1987 movie Twenty-Four Eyes. Homes, the school and fishermen’s residences that stand side-by-side harken back to the early Showa period and convey the appearance of the film’s world. In addition to the Tsuboi Sakae Memorial Museum dedicated to the author of the novel the film was based on, the Shochikuza Movie Theater that regularly screens Twenty-Four Eyes, and the “Kinema no Iori” gallery that introduces various Japanese films of the 1950s, there is also a restaurant and cafe on site.

Fantastic location, on the tip of a peninsula. If the weather is nice, the seaside view is tremendous. Familiarity with the 1954 film would add value to the experience, but the old sets are quaint...
Must Visit

It was said to be movie setting, but since I havent watched the movie 24 Eyes, I didnt really have that connection for the place. However, this is nice to visit despite not knowing anything about...
Interesting slice of history in a movie set

A short visit to see the old movie set for 24-eyes. It was interesting to see the old buildings and history of the author of the original book.
