In a bid to attract educational tours from Taiwan, high school and junior high school principals and teachers from across the country visited Awaji Island. They explored Hyogo Prefecture’s specially designed educational programs and experienced a range of unique activities tailored for learning.
Highlights included exclusive offerings such as the popular new spot ZENBO SEINEI and the animated wonderland Nijigen no Mori—experiences that can only be found on Awaji Island.
Believing that enriching and enjoyable experiences are essential for student learning, the educators actively participated in various programs to ensure they could deliver engaging, high-quality tours for their students.

Experience Anime Park and Get in Touch with Pop Culture
Ballet dancers from Ukraine visited the Anime Park Nijigen no Mori, where special group rates are offered.
During their visit, they experienced NARUTO & BORUTO SHINOBI-ZATO—a favorite anime in Europe and America. At Nijigen no Mori, visitors embarked on an immersive adventure through a three-dimensional maze, solving riddles to dive deep into the anime world. Multilingual support and English-language guidance from our staff ensured a seamless experience.
After exploring Nijigen no Mori, we also recommend staying at GRAND CHARIOT within the same park, where you can continue to enjoy anime-themed experiences all day long in specially designed collaboration rooms featuring various anime characters.
