Merry Christmas!
A slime wearing a Santa hat will welcome you!

At the hugely popular attraction "Dragon Quest Island" at Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park Anime Park "Nijigen no Mori," slimes in front of Onokogard Castle are wearing Santa hats to welcome everyone during the Christmas season!
In addition to this, we have prepared many other events perfect for a Christmas outing, such as a special Christmas tree decorated with ornaments unique to "Dragon Quest Island" and a snow globe making experience that will be held for a limited time until Friday, February 2025, 2!
This time, we will introduce two craft experiences that you can enjoy during the winter break!

▲ There's also a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments typical of "Dragon Quest" in front of Onokogard Castle!

1. A must-try for Dragon Quest fans: making a snow globe!

▲Confine the world of adventure inside a dome!

▲You can freely choose the design by selecting the glitter color and parts!

▲What a dreamlike combination!

At the Onokogard Workshop, located next to Onokogard Castle, a winter-only crafting experience called "Snow Globe Making Experience" is being held, where you can combine monster and background parts to make your very own snow globe!

  • Selectable acrylic stand
    Monsters such as "Onion Slime" and "Rogue Metal" and backgrounds such as Christmas trees are now available as acrylic stands! Choose from a total of 6 different parts, 2 monsters and 1 background, for a total of 3 types!
  • Freely arrange your items to express your individuality
    You can freely place monsters and trees! You can place monsters in front of the tree or sneakily peeking out from behind the tree... you can create your own "Dragon Quest" world inside the snow globe!

The experience takes about 30 minutes. You can participate even if you have a little time to spare before going home or waiting for the next bus! You can easily enjoy making your own snow globe with friends, family, or as a couple! This is sure to be enjoyed by both those who love "Dragon Quest" and those who don't know much about it! It's the perfect place to go for Christmas!
