Nijigen no Mori (Awaji Island Anime Theme Park): Naruto x Boruto Shinobi Village Admission Ticket with Bus Service 2025 – Ticket Information & Experience Details

Overview

Nijigen no Mori, located on Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, is a sprawling anime-themed park within Awajishima Prefectural Park, featuring the world’s largest Naruto and Boruto attraction, Shinobi-zato. Opened in 2019, this immersive experience brings the ninja world to life with life-sized replicas of Konohagakure, interactive missions, and a 3D maze. Key attractions include the Heaven Scroll (a three-story ninja training maze), Earth Scroll (a mystery-solving mission rally), and nightly projection mapping on an 11-meter Hokage Rock. The package includes roundtrip bus service from Osaka or Kobe, saving up to ¥1,400 (Osaka) or ¥1,100 (Kobe) compared to separate purchases. Reviews praise the fun for Naruto fans, though summer heat is noted—spring or autumn visits are ideal. Tickets start at ¥4,900 (Kobe, adult) or ¥6,400 (Osaka, adult), with advance booking via Jasumo Tickets recommended for QR code entry and bus seat confirmation.

Disclaimer

Jasumo offers a facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, helping them access and apply for tickets to various attractions, including Nijigen no Mori Naruto x Boruto Shinobi Village 2025. We are not a reseller of tickets, nor do we sell tickets directly. Our role is to support international customers by guiding them through the official ticket booking process, ensuring they can secure their tickets through recognized platforms and authorized providers.

• Language Barriers: Navigating Japan’s primarily Japanese-language ticketing systems can be challenging. Jasumo provides bilingual support for a smooth booking experience.
• Access to Japanese-Only Platforms: Many attractions require local knowledge to navigate, often lacking international payment options. We facilitate with guidance and payment support.
• Limited Availability & Complex Registration: Attractions have limited capacity, and ticketing processes can be confusing. Jasumo helps manage deadlines and requirements.
  Due to high demand for buses and Shinobi-zato, availability is not guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels or per cancellation policy. We strongly recommend booking early via https://jasumotickets.com/ to secure your preferred date at official prices (¥2,900–¥6,400).
