Nesta Resort Kobe (Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, President: Jun Tanaka) is launching a newly revamped activity called "Blaster Battlefield" on February 14, 2026 (Saturday), transforming the popular "Gun Battle The Real" with enhanced safety and strategic gameplay.
The new attraction is located in "SUNRISE ROAD," a fresh area inspired by America's iconic Route 66. Blaster Battlefield is the first activity to debut in this area, embodying the resort's "ARC Vision" brand concept ahead of its 10th anniversary in July 2026.
Background and Key Changes
The new Blaster Battlefield introduces a flag battle format where teams compete to capture opponents' flags, with a standard setup of three-team competition. The entire field has been upgraded with artificial turf, and the activity now features Nerf-brand blaster toys, achieving both improved safety and simplified equipment while making the experience more accessible to everyone.
Balancing Immersion and Safety: The combination of full artificial turf coverage, flag battle format, and Nerf blaster toys creates an exciting experience that prioritizes safety and accessibility. Aligned with the ARC Vision's <Adventure> pillar, the activity has evolved to welcome multiple generations with peace of mind.
Accommodating a Wide Range of Ages: The adoption of soft artificial turf and Nerf blasters that shoot foam darts enables safe enjoyment for participants from age 7 to adults, achieving true accessibility.
Expanded Participation Opportunities: The improved rule design allowing simultaneous play for up to three teams transforms the battlefield to accommodate more guests with reduced wait times.
