Crayon Shin-chan Attractions at Crayon Shin-chan Adventure Park
Crayon Shin-chan’s attractions include athletics, ziplines, mazes, play equipment, horror houses, puzzle-solving games, and more.
Athletics Attraction: ”Appare! Sengoku Daibouken!”
Athletic attraction “Appare! “Sengoku Daibouken!” is a wooden three-dimensional athletic that looks like a giant fort. You can choose from two courses: a children’s course and a “general samurai course.” The Samurai General Course is the more intense of the two courses and includes tasks such as crossing unstable bridges and balancing on narrow paths 8 meters above the ground.
At the reception desk, everyone will be given a helmet and harness to prepare. Our staff will kindly guide you. Complete the activity called “Prank” with Shin-chan. Children started on a course 1 meter above the ground. Brothers and sisters can take on challenging courses with ground clearances of 3.5m, 4.5m, and 8m. There are four courses with different difficulty levels. Everyone from children to adults can play until they are exhausted.
It’s an obstacle course where you cross narrow bridges, pass through nets, and walk on shaky scaffolding. A sense of balance is required. The journey takes approximately 45 minutes. When you reach the end, you feel fear, excitement, and a sense of accomplishment.
Zipline Attraction: “Challenge! Action Mask Squadron!”
Zipline attraction “Challenge! “Action Kamen Sentai!” is two zipline adventure attractions with lengths of 225 meters and 140 meters. Don Action Mask helmet and enjoy the great outdoors on two ziplines while surviving the Black Mekemeke Gang’s giant water gun attacks. When you put on the Action Mask helmet, you can transform into the legendary Action Mask that appeared in the anime.
Glide through the sky as if you were an action mask. It’s thrilling and heart-pounding. When you put on the familiar action mask helmet from the anime at the reception desk, your heart will be filled with nostalgia and anticipation.
Once the harness is secured, you’re ready to enjoy the thrill. Once released from the platform, I can’t stop laughing as I fly through the trees. While flying gracefully through the sky, you will be impressed by the magnificent natural scenery.

Located in Nijigen no Mori on Awaji Island, Japan
Nijigen no Mori, which translated literally means “Two Dimensional Forest” (because of all the ANIME, pop-culture, and– well, you’ll see). The theme park features some of Japan’s biggest franchises, with attractions based on Godzilla, Dragon Quest, Crayon Shin-Chan, and Monster Hunter.
This anime theme park has been a tourist hot spot since it opened in 2017. Going to the park and the gift stores is free, as is the parking. However, the attractions themselves do have fees.
While you’re all the way out here at Nijigen no Mori, I’d recommend checking out the rest of Awaji Island!
