Welcome to Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

The iconic gate of Konohagakure, or The Hidden Leaf Village, greets you at the Naruto Theme Park NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-zato. For fans like me, the Naruto character panels near the gate that welcome you instantly evoke nostalgia.

It’s the perfect spot to snap unforgettable photos with your favorite characters!

As you approach the entrance, the Naruto-themed decorations really invite you into the world of Konoha. Every detail is related to the beloved anime, making you feel like you've stepped right into the village itself.

Admire the Iconic Hokage Rock of Konoha!

If you're a Naruto fan, you'll recognize the Hokage Rock as a central symbol of the Hidden Leaf Village.

This monumental site features the carved faces of the village’s Hokages, both past and present, highlighting their importance and authority in the series.

At the Naruto Theme Park, you can see a replica of this iconic landmark. Standing 11 meters tall, it faithfully depicts the first five Hokages and their crucial roles in the Naruto storyline. Nearby, you'll also find statues of characters from the Boruto series, offering even more fantastic photo opportunities.

Channel Your Inner Ninja and Take-on Challenging Ninja Missions!

More than just a Naruto-themed amusement park, NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-zato is a place for adventures. Here, you can engage in interactive missions that replicate the challenges and excitement of the anime.

If you’re as excited about these ninja tasks, you’re in for an incredible experience. We'll show you what it’s truly like to be part of the ninja world!

The missions at the park use scrolls inspired by those from the anime. As you may recall, the Chunin Exams feature the Heaven Scrolls (Ten no Maki/天の巻) and Earth Scrolls (Chi no Maki/地の巻). These scrolls symbolize the challenges that competing teams must overcome, mirroring the trials depicted in the show!

Heaven Scrolls: Solve the Riddles and Take on the Labyrinth Challenge

Using the Heaven Scrolls, which include slots for various stamps and a manual for performing Jutsu with hand seals, was the first challenge. Equipped with these scrolls, you can go into a maze designed to test your ninja skills.

The goal was to navigate through the maze, collecting stamps of famous Naruto characters along the way. Following the scroll's instructions, you need to gather each stamp and then use the hand seal procedure outlined on the scroll to unlock the door and escape!

Earth Scrolls: Practice the Art of Hand Seals

The second mission uses the Earth Scrolls! Guided by a film, you follow a story where the chakra seal has been compromised. As a ninja from Konohagakure, your task is to complete the seven challenges on the Earth Scroll to restore the chakra seal.

This adventure tests your problem-solving skills and, crucially, your proficiency with hand seals. At each location, you must perform hand seals to overcome various obstacles and advance through the next mission!

The mission's highlight is the opportunity to explore various locations inspired by the anime. You will be thrilled by replicas of tailed beasts, the serpent summons Manda, and figures of the Akatsuki members.

One of the favorite spots is the area where Naruto trained in "Senjutsu," featuring Fukasaku, the famous frog, and meditation rocks.

Your ninja adventure culminates in an exciting finale as you reach the final section, where you'll be transported to a secret location to experience a breathtaking animated battle against Kaguya, the ultimate villain in Naruto.

Try Naruto's Beloved Ichiraku Ramen

After completing all the missions and feeling exhausted, you might need a place to relax and enjoy lunch. So where does Naruto go during these times? Of course, to Ichiraku Ramen! You can share in Naruto's favorite spot by dining at the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant!

The two most popular dishes are the Ichiraku Ramen (all toppings), just like Naruto's go-to meal, and the Akatsuki Ramen (all toppings), a spicier and more intense version of the classic Ichiraku Ramen.

The Ichiraku Ramen had a rich tonkotsu flavor that was both comforting and satisfying. In contrast, the Akatsuki Ramen offered an extraordinary experience with its stronger, richer, and spicier flavors that really packed a punch.

Don't Forget to Buy Limited Naruto Goods Before Going Home!

Visit the store next to Ichiraku Ramen to pick up exclusive Naruto merchandise and complete your ninja adventure at the theme park. Add a collection of lifestyle products that bring a touch of the Naruto universe into your daily life.

The shop offers a wide selection of items featuring your favorite characters, including those from Akatsuki. From acrylic stands and keychains to badges and home decor, there’s something for all types of fans!
