Which of these attractions at Nijigen no Mori do you want to experience?

@gungnirmkvii 7 ай бұрын

Definitely the Shin Godzilla zipline! Thanks Chris, always fun to watch you visit places like this. Would love to see a tour video of the Shinjuku Toho building and Godzilla head!

@Peajay007 6 ай бұрын

I’ll do all of them. Because I’m there. If I didn’t there would way too much regret. I’d be sore. But like you said done and won

@nicolethompson3782 6 ай бұрын

I really like the dragon quest thing. Never played the game but love the interactive aspect. I wish there were more experiences like that were you are playing a rpg in the real world but the US can’t seem to pull that off. I will just have to add that to things to seek out if I ever make it to Japan.

@Momoko524 6 ай бұрын

Seen someone else come here and have been wanting to see you come as well. Don't see many people coming here and it's a shame cuz I think the interactive aspect of it is really cool and more theme parks should do it as well like they also have with the Mario Land at USJ. I'd love to come here one day. Wouldn't catch me doing the Shin Chan course either though (but i would do the zip line). Deadly afraid of heights 😅 Would love to do the others though. Was a huge Naruto fan growing up and love rpgs.

We were just there about 2 weeks ago and it was so much fun. As big Naruto and Godzilla fans we spent most of the day there. My son and husband's favorite was the Boruto maze challenge. Would highly recommend there is so much to do out there.

Dragon Quest (Or Dragon Warrior as it was called first) was my FAMILIES first video game. My parents started to play it in the 80s - then they raised my brother on it and then they raised me on it! Wait until I tell them!!!

@sanashi27 6 ай бұрын

The first area being an irl rpg looks like fun! Makes me wanna play the game honestly. A Crayon Shin-chan area! I watched the anime when I was a kid and I'm surprised that the area for it is an obstacle course which looks like fun. I already saw the Naruto area from another youtuber but it's always fun to watch others go through it. The Naruto-themed room looks pretty cool, too. This makes me wish i could go cause that looks lke a really amazing place.

I went recently! If you like Dragon Quest at all it is worth it just for Dragon Quest Island. The music and sound effects were enough to bring a tear to my eye. The story was also surprisingly well made for a park activity.

I know Crayon Shin Chan mainly from the American dub which is super raunchy. I bought a sweatshirt in Tokyo Station with his face on it and my best friend had to explain to me that it’s actually a children’s show in Japan because I had no clue. Do people in Japan even know that American have turned it into adult cartoon? 😂

@thepokekid01 6 ай бұрын

I think they do Burgers at Ichiraku because Burgers are the popular food in Boruto. Also, I don't remember if I said this before or someone else said this, but Crayon Shin Chan did air for a good while on Cartoon Network (and I think also in Canada) on their adult swim block. They basically sold the show to us as "Japanese Simpsons" and it's not wrong as a description (if you ask me). I know it's even more popular in Europe though. The only thing about Japanese theme parks like this is I really wish they had the budgets of places like Disneyland and Universal. I can imagine how crazy this park would be if they had that kind of budget and more to build. (I also would want to Add One Piece, Dragonball, and Sailor Moon to this anime Park... but mostly because I love One Piece, and turning a portion into a pirate island in the style of One Piece places sounds like a lot of fun)

Hi! I'm planning on going to this park in 2025. About how long did it take you to do each part? You said Dragon Quest took about two hours, I think? But what about the Naruto park? The main attraction for my group would be Naruto, and then we'd see the Godzilla zipline and other things depending on how long Naruto takes us. Also, can you just walk from attraction theme to theme or do you need a ticket for each?

“He’s always showing his butt!” …yeah… …uhh… …he also has an “elephant dance.” I worked on the Americanized version, which I guess uses a very different script. I used to tell people that if they liked South Park, they would like this, so if this is for kids, I am very curious to know what their version is like, as the show is pretty adult by American standards. There’s also a ton of pop culture references that were funny when the show was originally released, but I don’t know if American audiences today would get the jokes.

It was a bit rushed at the end there (that's why I didn't show much of Godzilla cause we ran out of time). I'd allocate 1.5 days or two if you wanna take it leisurely. Or just choose one or two of the activities instead of all of them (like we did).

WTF is this!? I was just in Japan a couple weeks ago and had no clue this existed. /sigh... next time, I guess. So are the characters you're supposed to interact with real people or digital? Also is it normally that empty? That's amazing if so, given even the tiniest of attractions in Japan tends to get hundreds of people cramping it up.
