[Super impressive] Don't miss the "Giant Zinogre Balloon" that appeared on Awaji Island! There's only a little time left to see it!

Don't miss the Zinogre roaring in the night sky!

Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park Anime Park "Nijigen no Mori" is hosting a limited-time collaboration attraction with the hugely popular game "Monster Hunter," called "Monster Hunter the Field," until November 3rd!

During the event, a giant 10m-long Zinogre balloon will appear in front of the park's west main gate (nearest stop: Prefectural Awajishima Park F Parking Lot)! It's a realistic reproduction of Zinogre, with its shell, fur, and two horns, making it hard to believe it's a balloon.If you put them side by side, you might be surprised at the difference in their size and intricacy!

Lights up at night! Super-charged!

It's fine even at night! The light-up puts it into a super-charged state, so it will look great in photos even in the dark! In fact, the darker it is, the more atmospheric it becomes...maybe?! The BGM you've heard countless times is playing, so you can enjoy the experience of facing off against Zinogre in the forest in real life! The size and impact are overwhelming! It's sure to look great in photos!

Increase your Hunter Rank and take on the challenge of defeating Jinogre!
