About this experience
Travel direct by expressway bus from either Osaka or Kobe and spend a full day at Nijigen No Mori on Awaji Island — home to the world's only life-scale Godzilla attraction. This package bundles your round-trip bus fare with full admission to the "Godzilla Interception Operation" experience, saving you up to ¥1,600 compared to buying both separately.You'll take on the role of a researcher at the National Awaji Island Godzilla Research Center, watch an immersive pre-theater briefing, then tackle zip lines, shooting games, and a world-first permanent Godzilla Museum — all centered around a full-size Godzilla you can literally ride through.
What to expect
Your day begins on the expressway bus from your chosen departure point in either Osaka or Kobe. Upon arrival at Nijigen No Mori, you'll be briefed in an immersive pre-theater screening that sets the scene — positioning you as a researcher at the National Awaji Island Godzilla Research Center tasked with intercepting a Godzilla landing.
From there, the main event is the zip line, where you choose between two courses: the Internal Monitoring Course, which sends you through Godzilla's mouth into its body, or the Body Surface Monitoring Course, where you glide along the exterior. The zip line is available to guests 120 cm or taller and weighing between 25 kg and 110 kg. After the zip line, you'll take on the Anti-Godzilla Cell Shooting game before exploring the world's first permanent Godzilla Museum, featuring large-scale film dioramas created in collaboration with Toho Movie Art.
Rounding out the day are the Awaji Island Special Effects Studio (a separate photography fee applies), an AR or real-world mystery-solving game, and adult accompaniment access to Kaiju no Mori. At the end of your visit, board the return bus back to your original departure city — confirm your return departure time at the park to avoid missing the last bus of the day.
Things to note
- Buses depart on time with no waiting. Confirm your boarding stop location in advance and arrive with time to spare.
- Golden Week (Apr 24 – May 6, 2026): Buses stop at Awaji IC. Free shuttle runs every ~30 min to the park. Heavy traffic delays expected.
- Taking a late departure leaves minimal park time before the last return bus. Check the timetable for your city and plan accordingly.
- Direct buses from Osaka and Kobe are limited. If your preferred departure is full, you may be placed on the next available service.
- Seats are not confirmed at purchase. Exchange your e-ticket at least one day before travel to secure your preferred bus seat.
