Frequently Asked Questions
Entry to Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Island Park is free, so there’s no gate ticket and no charge just to walk in. Parking is free too, with over 1,500 spots on site.
You only pay when you step into one of the themed attraction areas, so you’re free to explore at your own pace and choose your own adventure.
Each themed area — NARUTO & BORUTO SSHINOBI-ZATO, Godzilla Interception Operation, Dragon Quest Island, and Crayon Shinchan Adventure Park — is ticketed separately, so you can pick and choose based on what excites you most.

Nijigen no Mori is located at 2425-2 Kusumoto, Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture, on Awaji Island.

Buses also run from Maiko and Shin-Kobe for those coming from elsewhere in the Kansai region, and a free shuttle connects from Awaji IC once you’re on the island.
The park is open every day from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Individual attractions have their own last-admission and closing times, which can shift slightly by season, so it’s worth checking the time on the page or the official website before you set out.
Four permanent worlds await: train as a ninja through Hokage Rock in NARUTO & BORUTO SHINOBI-ZATO, zipline straight through the mouth of a life-size Godzilla, become the hero of your own RPG at Dragon Quest Island, or run wild through zipline courses and cardboard mazes at Crayon Shinchan Adventure Park.
