In Uzumasa Movie Village in Kyoto Prefecture, a historic movie village known for its many years of filming movies and dramas, the "Evangelion Kyoto Base" where you can experience the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion has been born. It is an experiential attraction where you can feel like a pilot while being overwhelmed by the appearance of a giant Unit 01.
The life-size statue of Unit 01 installed at the entrance of the attraction is truly impressive. While being excited by this giant Evangelion, you will receive a pilot ID card at the reception. And as if you have slipped into the world of the anime, you will step into NERV's facilities.
Inside the facility, you will first take a pilot aptitude test. As you answer the questions, you will check the qualifications of an Eva pilot. Next, you can experience operating the actual entry plug. A unique production is prepared where you can enjoy pseudo-piloting while following Misato's instructions.
Finally, a commemorative photo spot with a composition of Eva resting on the palm of your hand. In addition to being able to take photos many times in the attraction, you will also be given the photo data of the Unit 01 back at the time of entry. This attraction offers an irresistible experience for Eva fans.
The Kyoto base where you can immerse yourself in the world of Evangelion has attracted attention from a wide range of generations, not just anime fans. It is truly a dream-like attraction where you can experience a special experience that you can't taste without actually visiting. When you visit Kyoto, why not stop by?
