At NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-Zato, the popular attraction inside the Awaji Island anime park Nijigen no Mori, the ongoing "Come Forth, My Partner! Summoning Jutsu" experience lets visitors try out the ninjutsu used by central characters such as Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno.
Now, as a special program for Sasuke Uchiha's birthday on July 23, the summoning of Aoda — the loyal partner sworn to Sasuke — returns for a limited time starting July 23 (Thursday).
NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-Zato is the only place where visitors can experience the Summoning Jutsu as if truly calling forth a partner of their own. Summon Aoda with your own power and celebrate Sasuke's 2026 birthday together.

About NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-Zato
Nijigen no Mori is an anime park set within Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Island Park, just 5 minutes from Kobe across the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge to Awaji Island. Spread across grounds roughly the size of 28 Tokyo Domes, the park uses IT technology to bring visitors immersive "Nijigen" (2D-to-real-life) experiences amid its natural surroundings.
Inside the park is NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-Zato, an attraction area themed around the worlds of the popular ninja anime series NARUTO and BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS. Visitors can take on a 3D maze where scrolls are used to complete training, along with mission rallies and puzzles, making their way through the world of Shinobi-Zato. The attraction recreates the anime's world in detail and offers hands-on, full-body activities set in nature.
