Nijigen no Mori One Day Bus Tour (From Arima Onsen/Kyoto)

Easy way to get from Kyoto to the park. We had a little trouble finding the bus. Once we got to the correct bus, it was a quick and easy ride. The guide walked us to the entrance of the park and gave us our tickets. the park is fun but slightly small. By 3pm we were done and ready to leave. Fun trip overall.

Awaji Island isn't the most convenient place to get to without a car. There are buses from Osaka to Nijigen no Mori, but we were worried about getting off at the wrong stop, so a day tour was easier. This day tour from Arima/Kyoto to Awaji Island is very convenient! The tour bus has the travel agency's name on it and is pretty punctual. The travel agency will send an email to confirm your booking. You can also ask them for immediate contact information (in case you can't find the station/bus on the day). The Naruto Heaven Chapter has climbing and crawling mechanisms and isn't just for viewing. It's a lot of fun. Six hours at Nijigen no Mori, just playing the Naruto museum, is a bit too long. There should be enough time to play 2 or more museums (such as Naruto + Crayon Shin-chan, etc.). There's also a children's playground in the park, which is fun.

It was a fun experience (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

make sure to experience this with someone. going alone will make the experience less enjoyable. also, to make the most of your experience, prepare 1,500-3,000 yen to complete some missions. it’s the most enjoyable with your closest friends/family.
