The attraction at anime park Nijigen no Mori will hold the "Summer Party with the Tailed Beasts" from July 12 to August 31

AWAJI CITY, HYOGO PREFECTURE, JAPAN, July 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Anime park Nijigen no Mori will be hosting a seasonal ninja-themed summer festival, "Summer Party with the Tailed Beasts", at its popular attraction NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-Zato. The event will put a ninja twist on Japanese summer traditions, and will be held on weekends and Japanese national holidays from Saturday, July 12 through Sunday, August 31.

This year's Shinobi-Zato summer festival features a traditional Japanese "bon odori" dance typically performed during the August "Obon" festival, to the drum rhythm of the iconic "Bijuu Kazoe Uta" ("Tailed Beast Counting Song") from the anime series NARUTO: SHIPPUDEN. Guests can also participate in shuriken ninja star training, traditional Japanese festival games, and a special "Tailed Beast Stamp Rally" themed on all nine of the tailed beasts - Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, Kokuo, Saiken, Chomei, Gyuki, and Kurama. Those who complete all the missions and collect every stamp will receive a limited edition "Original Tailed Beast Fan" as a special reward. Special "festival stalls" will be installed, giving visitors a chance to experience a unique ninja twist on a traditional Japanese summer "matsuri" festival.
