Naruto x Boruto Shinobi Zato

Located on the grounds of the Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park, the 8,000-square-meter Hidden Leaf experience is fittingly nestled in the park’s forest. Notable landmarks at the theme park will include the gate to the village, Hokage Rock and Ramen Ichiraku. Other standout attractions at the theme park include life-sized models of many characters, a three-story maze, augmented reality displays, a jutsu photo cutout section and more.

A true fan of Naruto should have heard of this amazing theme park by now, it was the same for me when I heard news about it in 14 Sept 2019. Now that I am finally back in Osaka, I HAVE to visit this place! It was also a dream of mine to cosplay as Uzumaki Naruto since I started watching the anime in 2006.  However I did not have enough confidence, I end up keep procrastinating that dream. Now that this theme park is here, it is a calling for me to finally do it.

It was a tough time for me to order my wig and some accessories during this period due to the COVID-19, I had a hard time getting my parcel sent to me. I have ordered them more than 1 month in advance and I finally receive them just 1-2 hours before I head to the airport for my flight! Lucky!

Small regret, due to my tight schedule I did not have enough time to style my wig nor find a proper replacement for the ninja shoes, yes the seller gave me the wrong color. I only get to check-in like 30 mins before I am heading to the park, and I had to go from zero to full cosplay in that 30 mins! It was a mad rush! Nevertheless, I had a great time at the park, how I wished I had more time to complete the other route! 3 hours is really NOT enough for a cosplayer who also wants to enjoy the park at the same time!

To start off, one can ride this highway bus that brings you from Namba/Osaka station to the Awaji island! You can purchase the ticket at Namba/Osaka station, bus terminal for 1270 yen, 2 ways.

I have finally arrived and I'm so excited!

The theme park allows one to take up the athletic training, puzzles or mazes to solve the scroll given to clear the park! You do not need to watch all episodes to solve them, but they are not easy either~

Entrance Ticket : Adult - 3300 yen / Students - 1800 yen / Child - 500 yen

That big smile on me is genuine~ I am truly happy to be here!

My heart was racing when I saw these! It feels so magical to be standing there with all of them!

This thing is HUGE~ It really felt like I am there~

So which route do you think I will take?

Will I be able to have enough time for both?

Its so big that I can walk in!

Look who I saw~

Hee hee Kurama~

The famous Ichiran Ramen

Menu

For every purchase of an item, you can get 1 coaster at random!

I'm so happy that I think my heart is gonna burst! I ordered extra toppings for that hearty bowl of ramen~ AND it taste SO AWESOME! OMG, they should open more stores elsewhere! That pork is so juicy and well done, the broth, THE BROTH is so rich and sweet! The egg is perfectly done, and its simply a bowl of happiness, I can see why naruto LOVES it! Oh, did I mention the seller also look like the old man in the anime?!

Dont miss the project show!

Airtime 10 mins (19:00 / 19:30 / 20:00)

Dont forget to get some exclusive merchandise before leaving the park!

Getting There

I really had so much fun time here, everything look so real inside and I really felt being one in the anime! Times, the visitors asked me for selfies, sometime a group of them passed by me and yelled 'Naruto!!!', and I will waved back in my closest Naruto voice, pretending to be Naruto! Somehow I became part of the attraction there! I didnt want to leave~
