Nijigen no Mori Awaji: Tickets & Tips

What is Nijigen no Mori?

A large park in the Awaji Island Prefectural Park, run by Pasona, with outdoor attractions based on Japanese anime and games. Highlights include Naruto & Boruto Shinobi-zato, a ninja village with puzzle trails and an indoor zone, the Godzilla Interception Operation, where you zipline into a life-size Godzilla's mouth and play shooting games, and Dragon Quest Island, an RPG-style adventure across the park. There are also night walks and seasonal collaborations.

Tickets

Each attraction has its own ticket. Standard tickets cover entry and the main activity. Premium tickets (often several times the price) add extra missions, goodies, priority or a meal. For example, Dragon Quest's premium all-in-one ticket has been priced at roughly ¥19,000-20,500. Prices change and events like summer festivals add bonuses, so check the official site for the attraction you want.

Pick two or three

Each attraction takes 1-3 hours. Choose the two or three that matter most rather than trying to do everything in one day.
