Anime enthusiasts traveling from Kyoto to the renowned “NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato” attraction on Awaji Island will soon benefit from a more streamlined travel option. Starting July 1, 2026, a new bus package will provide a direct round-trip service from Kyoto Station to Awaji I.C., bundled with entrance to the popular anime venue. The service aims to simplify the journey for both local and international tourists by eliminating the need for travel transfers, thus enhancing the appeal of this day-trip destination.
The trip from Kyoto to Awaji Island spans roughly 90 minutes by highway bus, allowing passengers to enjoy picturesque views of bridges and the sea along the way. Upon arrival, visitors will be greeted with a ticket that grants them access to the park’s standout features, including the “Heaven’s Scroll (Ten no Maki)” three-dimensional maze and the “Earth Scroll (Chi no Maki)” mission rally. These attractions are a part of the immersive experience offered at “NARUTO&BORUTO Shinobi-Zato,” which brings to life the beloved ninja anime universe with themed character displays and interactive activities.
This new bus service will be available exclusively on weekdays, excluding major holiday periods, catering to those seeking a unique and tranquil travel experience. Adult tickets for this package are set at 8,200 yen, while children’s tickets are priced at 4,250 yen, inclusive of taxes. Tickets can be purchased online, but visitors will need to exchange their vouchers at the Kyoto Bus Ticket Center prior to boarding.
Located within Nijigen no Mori, the park combines Japanese anime culture with outdoor entertainment, providing an engaging environment for fans. Apart from the “NARUTO&BORUTO” attractions, Nijigen no Mori incorporates elements from other popular Japanese entertainment franchises, offering a blend of interactive experiences amidst Awaji Island’s scenic beauty. The introduction of the direct bus service is anticipated to boost accessibility to the island, making it a favored spot for anime fans and tourists in search of a memorable Japanese adventure.
