Nijigen no Mori 10th Anniversary

This event is a special year-long project by Nijigen no Mori, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary with the concept "Discover, Dream, Dive in." Through seasonal events, campaigns, tickets, and goods, the park provides new, immersive experiences to dive into the worlds of various works. Nijigen no Mori is a theme park that expands the worlds of animation, manga, and games—so-called "two-dimensional content"—which were previously enjoyed only on screens or paper. As a Japanese anime theme park that utilizes all five senses and physical movement, it is a place where "the worlds of television and manga permeate the entire forest." Using the latest technology, the park provides "two-dimensional experiences" that add "new value" to Cool Japan content through fantastic attractions that feel like entering an animation and various activities that reproduce two-dimensional worlds.
