[Make the most of your remaining summer vacation!] A course that will have you fully enjoying yourself from morning to night!

We're in the latter half of August, and summer vacation is almost over. But many of you are probably thinking, "But I want to have more fun! I want to go out and have fun!"

Nijigen no Mori, an anime park on Awaji Island, is a theme park that collaborates with various anime, movies, and games, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from adults to children! Each attraction is an incredibly intense experience, lasting at least an hour, and up to nearly four hours! Today, we'll introduce the staff's recommended ways to enjoy Nijigen no Mori for a full day!

Check the park map for the locations of each attraction.

10:00 AM: We recommend visiting in the cool morning hours! Head to the popular "Dragon Quest Island"!

It's no exaggeration to say that Dragon Quest is one of Japan's most iconic RPGs. In fact, its creator, Yuji Horii, is originally from Awaji Island!

Nijigen no Mori's "Dragon Quest Island" is an attraction that can only be enjoyed on Awaji Island! The towns, dungeons, and the Demon King's Castle where the Great Demon King Zoma awaits from the game are all realistically recreated on Awaji Island! This field RPG attraction lets you explore the world as if you were actually in the game, leveling up, equipping yourself, and taking on the battle to save the world!

As the afternoon approaches, the number of adventurers joining the tour increases, so we recommend going first thing in the morning!
*On August 8rd, 23th, 24th, and 30st, the store will open one hour earlier at 31am.

12:30 Recover your stamina! Enjoy the special collaboration food at the restaurant "Luidia's Tavern"!

After having a great time in the morning, it's time for a fun lunch♪ To prepare for the afternoon, head to Luidae's Tavern, a restaurant adjacent to the Dragon Quest Island area!

A variety of special collaboration foods that can only be eaten here await you! My recommendation is the Stray Metal Spicy Curry, which is impressive in both taste and appearance! It looks like you'll get a ton of experience points! If you're eating outside, I also recommend the Onokogard Specialty Homilot's Happy Lunch Box, which is provided in a box!

14:30 Head to "NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi Village"! A ninja experience attraction where you can actually make hand seals and perform ninjutsu!

Let's have fun in the afternoon! If you head towards the center of the park, you will see "NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi Village," the village where ninjas gather!

This attraction area is based on the ninja anime series "NARUTO" and "BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS," which are hugely popular both in Japan and overseas! Characters from the series are waiting for your help!

Complete your mission by running through a huge three-story 3D maze and undulating terrain! At checkpoints using digital recognition technology, you can actually make ninjutsu hand signs to activate ninjutsu! Experience the ninja side as the action unfolds before your eyes and you move forward! This attraction can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from small children to die-hard "NARUTO" fans!

For those who want to enjoy indoors, there are also craft experiences available.

Since it is primarily an outdoor attraction, you might be thinking, "I'd like to enjoy it indoors for a bit," right? If so, why not try a craft experience unique to Awaji Island at the "Shinobi Sato Workshop" located inside Shinobi Sato?

Awaji Island is said to be the birthplace of Japan's incense culture! A unique experience only available on Awaji Island is the "Incense Making Experience" which is being held for a limited time until August 8st! You can experience this traditional industry in an air-conditioned room. If your child hasn't finished their independent research project yet, this might be a good opportunity to finish one of their homework assignments!

Hours

11:00~16:00 (Last entry 15:30)
*Please note that this is different from the attraction reception hours.

Entry fee

500 yen (tax included)
*Separate attraction ticket purchase is required.

17:30 A slightly early dinner! We went to Ramen Ichiraku, a restaurant that recreates the restaurant that appears in the story!

Play to your heart's content and recover your lost energy! Inside Shinobi Village, you'll find "Ramen Ichiraku," a restaurant based on the restaurant that appeared in the anime!

They have a wide variety of menu items, including pork bone ramen, a favorite of the anime's main character, Uzumaki Naruto, as well as takoyaki with a scroll motif and Ramune ice cream, perfect for summer! The night walk after this is also a long course, so be sure to recharge your energy here!

19:00 When you think of nightlife on Awaji Island, you think of a night walk!

End your day with a "Night Walk: The Path to Mugenjo" where you can experience the world of the anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" recreated with projection mapping while walking through a 1.2km night forest! Relive the battles between Tanjiro Kamado and the pillars of the series from "Tanjiro Kamado's Determination Arc" to "Pillar Training Arc" that have been animated so far, and take on the mission of gathering information for the upcoming battle against Kibutsuji Muzan!

21:30 A day of fun and satisfaction comes to an end! Please be careful on your way home!

In addition to these, there are many other attractions to enjoy, such as "Crayon Shin-chan Adventure Park," an attraction themed on the popular anime "Crayon Shin-chan," and "Operation Godzilla Interception," an attraction where you can participate in monitoring a life-size Godzilla that is currently inactive! There are only two weeks left of summer vacation. If you're thinking of a final outing with your family and friends, be sure to visit Awaji Island's Nijigen no Mori!

Great value set tickets available during August!

Until August 8st (Sunday), summer vacation limited "Nijigenno "Morimori" Campaign" is also being held!

During the period, we will also be selling set tickets that include a light ticket for each attraction and the Nijigen no Mori x Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba collaboration event (either daytime or nighttime) at a great price!

The daytime event set is 800 yen off per person, and the evening event set is 1,500 yen off per person, making this a great value ticket, so be sure to check it out if you plan to enjoy multiple attractions!
