Starting July 1, 2026, anime enthusiasts and tourists traveling from Kyoto to the “NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato” theme park on Awaji Island will benefit from a newly introduced direct bus service. This package offers a seamless journey by combining round-trip highway bus travel from Kyoto Station to Awaji I.C. with admission to the popular attraction. Designed to enhance the accessibility of the park, this package caters to both domestic and international visitors, eliminating the hassle of transfers and promising a convenient day-trip option.
The direct bus route takes travelers on a scenic 90-minute journey, showcasing stunning sea views and bridge crossings before arriving near the anime destination. Upon reaching “NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato,” guests can delve into the immersive experiences offered by two major attractions: the interactive “Heaven’s Scroll (Ten no Maki)” maze and the engaging “Earth Scroll (Chi no Maki)” mission rally. These attractions bring to life the beloved ninja anime series that the park is based on, featuring elements like the Hidden Leaf Village and various character displays.
Available exclusively for weekday travel and excluding major holiday periods, the bus package is priced at 8,200 yen for adults and 4,250 yen for children, including taxes. Tickets can be purchased online, with the requirement of exchanging them at the Kyoto Bus Ticket Center prior to boarding. The initiative aims to streamline access to the park, making it an appealing option for those seeking a unique cultural and entertainment experience in Japan.
Situated within Nijigen no Mori, a park renowned for attractions inspired by iconic Japanese entertainment franchises, “NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato” merges the essence of anime culture with the beauty of an outdoor setting. The introduction of the direct bus service from Kyoto is expected to draw more visitors, particularly anime fans eager to explore the thematic offerings of Awaji Island. By enhancing accessibility, the service is poised to attract a diverse array of tourists interested in exploring Japan’s rich cultural landscape.
