The Nijigen no Mori anime park on Awaji Island is hosting several themed events at its ‘NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobizato’ attraction.

One upcoming event, the ‘Naruto Uzumaki Birthday Festival 2026’, is scheduled to run from October 1 to October 31, 2026. This celebration includes a photo contest where participants post images to X using a specific hashtag, as well as a commemorative banner for visitor messages.

Additionally, the park has announced a ‘Naruto Uzumaki Birthday Festival 2026 Eve Festival’ for October 9, 2026, from 17:00 to 19:00. This limited engagement features a traditional Bon Odori dance, an ice cream giveaway, and a simulated ‘Chunin Exam’ quiz. Winners of the quiz and a mission rally time attack can earn tickets for exclusive individual photo sessions with Naruto at themed locations like Ichiraku Ramen. The eve festival will also include opening acts and projection mapping shows.

Separately, the ‘Trial from Copy Ninja Kakashi – Surpass Zabuza!’ event, which commemorates the birthdays of Zabuza Momochi and Kakashi Hatake, has been extended until September 30, 2026, due to popular demand. This event features hand sign quizzes based on the ‘Land of Waves’ arc. To mark the extension, an ‘Additional Trial’ allows participants to receive original Hatake Kakashi stickers by solving daily questions via the official X account and presenting answers at the attraction reception.
