Now you can rest easy! How to return from a night walk

Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park Anime Park "Nijigen no Mori" is holding two events in collaboration with the anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" for a limited time until Sunday, December 14, 2025!

Many people are interested in the night event "Night Walk: The Path to Infinite Castle," but are wondering how to get back.
Today, we will show you how to get home after the night walk is over!

After the night walk, there are three buses departing from Nijigen no Mori to Honshu: 20:30, 21:30, and 22:10!

At night, there are no direct buses to Kobe or Osaka, so we recommend taking a bus to the nearest station, JR Maiko Station (in Kobe city)!Depart from the rotary in front of Nijigen no Mori F parking lotSo, take the free shuttle bus from the Night Walk finish point to Parking Lot F!

Get off at the "Express Maiko" bus stop and it's just a 5-minute walk to JR Maiko Station!

The bus stop to get off at is "Expressway Maiko" and the ride takes about 15 minutes from Nijigen no Mori! From there, follow the signs and walk for about 5 minutes to reach JR Maiko Station!

From JR Maiko Station
To JR Sannomiya Station (Normal) Approximately 25 minutes
(Rapid) Approximately 20 minutes
To JR Osaka Station (Normal) Approximately 60 minutes
(Rapid) Approximately 50 minutes

The last express train leaves around 22:40 and the last local train leaves around 23:45, so if you take an earlier train you'll have no problem getting home!
You can easily return to your hotel in Kobe or Osaka, and if you make the right connections you can even catch an overnight bus on the same day!

*Calculations are based on the timetable for late September 2025. Please be sure to check with JR and bus companies regarding the timetable for the day you plan to visit.
