Nijigen no Mori (ニジゲンノモリ, lit. "two-dimensional forest") is a theme park in Awaji, Hyōgo, Japan. It opened on July 15, 2017, and features attractions and activities based on several Japanese manga, anime and game franchises, including Naruto and Dragon Quest.
History
Plans for a park to revitalize the area were first submitted to the Hyōgo prefectural government in 2013.[1] The Pasona Group's plans for an anime and manga amuseument park to be constructed in Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park were chosen from these submissions.
Upon launch, the park featured attractions based on Yoshito Usui's Crayon Shin-chan and Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix.[1] In 2018, the park added new attractions based on the Naruto and Boruto franchises.[2][3]
In 2019, the park further announced a Godzilla expansion, building a life-sized Godzilla replica statue on its grounds.[4] The statue's appearance is based on the version seen in Hideaki Anno's Shin Godzilla.[5] The attraction was officially opened in October 2020.[6]
In 2020, Dragon Quest-based attractions were further announced, to be officially open in 2021.[7]
Areas and attractions
The park features a variety of attractions, including recreations of scenes from manga, life-sized models, mazes, and augmented reality (AR) photobooths.[3] The park is divided into permanent sections based on different franchises, with limited time collaborations being held from time to time.
