Starting July 1, 2026, anime enthusiasts and travelers will find it easier to visit the “NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato” attraction at Nijigen no Mori on Awaji Island, thanks to a new direct bus ticket package launching from Kyoto. This package bundles a round-trip highway bus service from Kyoto Station to Awaji I.C. with admission to the anime park, streamlining the journey for both domestic and international visitors by eliminating the need for transfers.
The bus ride from Kyoto to Awaji Island takes about 90 minutes, offering passengers scenic views of bridges and the sea. Upon arrival, guests can dive into the immersive experience of the “NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato,” which includes the “Heaven’s Scroll (Ten no Maki)” three-dimensional maze and the “Earth Scroll (Chi no Maki)” mission rally. This new travel option is designed to provide a convenient day-trip experience, making it an attractive choice for anime fans and tourists eager to explore Japan’s unique cultural offerings.
Available only for weekday travel and excluding major holiday periods, the direct bus package is priced at 8,200 yen for adults and 4,250 yen for children, inclusive of taxes. Tickets can be purchased through online platforms, with an exchange required at the Kyoto Bus Ticket Center post-purchase. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility to the anime attraction, providing an all-in-one solution for fans of the popular ninja series.
“NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato” brings the world of the iconic ninja anime to life, featuring elements like the Hidden Leaf Village, character displays, and interactive activities. Located within Nijigen no Mori, the park offers a blend of Japanese anime culture and outdoor entertainment, set against the natural beauty of Awaji Island. The park is part of a broader attraction on the island that includes experiences from various Japanese entertainment franchises, providing a diverse range of interactive activities in a picturesque setting.
The introduction of the Kyoto direct bus service is expected to draw more visitors to Awaji Island, particularly those seeking a distinctive summer travel adventure in Japan. By making the destination more accessible, the service not only caters to anime aficionados but also enriches the tourism landscape, promoting a deeper engagement with Japan’s vibrant cultural heritage.
