Located on the island of Awajishima in Hyogo Prefecture, Nijigen no Mori is less interested in character meet-and-greets or parades and more focused on letting you take an active role within the fantasy worlds it recreates, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2020\/08\/13\/the-first-stag-of-anime-park-nijigen-no-moris-godzilla-attraction-is-now-open-for-a-limited-time\/\">going on a mission for its Godzilla research center<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2020\/12\/11\/dragon-quest-town-and-adventure-rpg-attraction-coming-to-japanese-theme-park\/\">solving mysteries within a <em>Dragon Quest<\/em> town<\/a>. That goes for its <strong>Naruto-themed Naurto &amp; Boruto Ninja Village<\/strong> (Shinobi-zato) section too, in which aspiring shinobi face challenges to their wits and physique with a combination of puzzles to solve and obstacle courses to clear.<\/p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say that anyone heading to the <em>Naruto<\/em> village has at one time or another daydreamed about becoming the newest <strong>Hokage<\/strong>, and now visitors can go home with a symbol of the fourth heroic ninja to hold that title.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-725270\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/01\/nv-2.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"288\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nijigen no Mori has just started offering a special premium ticket that, along with admission to the park, grants you one of <strong>the kunai wielded by Minato Namikaze<\/strong>, the Fourth Hokage, as well as Naruto\u2019s father and Boruto\u2019s grandfather. Unlike a standard, single-blade kunai, the<strong> Flying Thunder God Kunai<\/strong> are sort of like little throwing tridents, and the real-world recreation that Nijigen no Mori is offering has the same kanji characters written on its hilt as the anime\/manga version.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-725271\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/01\/nv-3.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"236\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nijigen no Mori doesn\u2019t mention the material used, but given that tickets for the Naruto and Boruto Ninja Village start at 3,300 yen (US$21) and that the Ninja Village Premium Ticket with Minato\u2019s Kunai is 50,000 yen, it seems like a safe bet that the kunai is an actual metallic piece, not plastic, and that the box it comes in is genuine wood too.
