An outdoor ninja park on Awaji Island, with the Hidden Leaf Village, scrolls and missions. Entry to the park is free and you pay per attraction: the basic Naruto ticket is from ¥3,300 for an adult. You get there by direct bus from the Sannomiya bus terminal in Kobe, about 45 minutes, but there are only two direct trips a day in each direction.
An outdoor role-playing park where you get a map and real quests, fight monsters and collect items. In the same complex as the Naruto park, but on a separate ticket: from ¥3,400 for an adult for the basic ticket.
Closed for renovation from 13 October 2026 until spring 2027: the wooden obstacle course and the zip line are being replaced by a new, taller obstacle course themed on the Shin-chan films. Until then only the Nonbiri no Harappa play area is open, and the shop and the food truck are closed too. Aimed at children, in the same complex on Awaji Island, on a separate ticket.
Nijigen no Mori
Luxury glamping on Awaji Island, next to Nijigen no Mori: standalone cocoon units, with changing collaborations with the park's series. Expensive, and suits an overnight stay after a day in the parks. If a room themed on a particular character matters to you, check this when you book.
