Starting July 1, 2026, anime enthusiasts traveling from Kyoto to the “NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato” attraction on Awaji Island will benefit from a new direct bus service designed to simplify their journey. This initiative offers a convenient package that combines round-trip highway bus transportation from Kyoto Station to Awaji I.C. with admission to the anime park, eliminating the hassle of transfers for both domestic and international visitors.
The travel package is tailored for a seamless day-trip experience, with the highway bus journey from Kyoto to Awaji Island taking approximately 90 minutes. Travelers will enjoy a scenic route featuring bridges and sea views, culminating near the anime attraction. The package includes admission to the park’s highlights, such as the “Heaven’s Scroll (Ten no Maki)” three-dimensional maze and the “Earth Scroll (Chi no Maki)” mission rally, offering interactive and immersive experiences inspired by the popular ninja anime series.
Available for weekday travel only, excluding major holiday periods, the package is priced at 8,200 yen for adults and 4,250 yen for children, with taxes included. Tickets can be purchased through online platforms, though they must be exchanged at the Kyoto Bus Ticket Center before travel. This streamlined process is expected to attract more visitors to the park, enhancing its accessibility and appeal.
“NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato” is part of Nijigen no Mori, a theme park on Awaji Island that brings Japanese anime culture to life through outdoor entertainment. The park features attractions that recreate the world of the Hidden Leaf Village, allowing fans to engage with character displays, partake in training activities, and enjoy various interactive experiences. This combination of anime culture and natural island scenery provides a unique destination for visitors.
The introduction of the direct bus service from Kyoto is anticipated to increase the flow of tourists to Nijigen no Mori, particularly appealing to anime fans and those seeking a distinctive summer travel experience in Japan. With its focus on well-known Japanese entertainment franchises, the park offers an engaging experience set amidst the tranquility of Awaji Island.
