Nijigen no Mori spreads through the woods of the prefectural Awaji Island Park and turns anime and games into things you can walk into. Its zones include a Naruto and Boruto adventure with ninja trials, a life-size Godzilla you enter through the creature's mouth on a zipline, a warmly nostalgic Crayon Shin-chan adventure playground, and a Dragon Quest walking quest, along with night-time illuminated walks. Entry to the park itself is free and each attraction is ticketed separately, so visitors can pick the zones that interest them. Set on the north of Awaji Island near the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, it is an easy day trip by bus from Kobe or by car.
