Hyogo Awaji Island Express Bus Ticket (Nijigen no Mori & Sumoto Onsen)

Awaji Island travel,
Should we go on a trip?

Awaji Island is an island in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. It is close to Osaka and Kobe, so it is one of the spots that comes to mind when traveling in Kansai! In particular, if you take the bus that goes directly to Nijigen no Mori and Sumoto Onsen, it is convenient because you don't have to use a rental car or complicated public transportation, and it is even more convenient because you only need to present a mobile voucher without exchanging it for a physical ticket.

If you are planning to visit Nijigennomori or Sumoto Onsen district during your trip to Osaka/Kobe area, or are staying at a hotel in Sumoto Onsen district, why not take this bus and enjoy a trip to the surrounding area as well?

What is Nijigen no Mori?

The Anime Park Nijigen no Mori located on Awaji Island is a must-visit theme park for anime fans, as it recreates the world of anime! You can take commemorative photos with your favorite characters such as Naruto and Sasuke made in life size at the Naruto & Boruto Experience Center. In particular, inside, there are figures and shops that make you feel like you’ve stepped into the world of Naruto, so I highly recommend a visit for fans.

* Please understand that Naruto vehicles may not be available.

Naruto & Boruto Shinobizato (Ninja Village)

Naruto & Boruto Theme Park is a place where you can experience the world of the popular anime Naruto and BORUTO-BORUTO- NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS. When you enter through the Aung Gate, you will find the ninja village of Shinobizato, where you can see the Hokage Rock with the figures of the past Hokages carved into it, making it a must-have photo zone for Naruto fans.

Inside the 'Hokage Rock', there is a three-dimensional maze with puzzle solutions, and if you go to the right, there is a puzzle attraction, so be sure to experience them all!
