Finally, the English version of the riddle solving game will start tomorrow,10/7 (Sat.)!

Nijigennomori Inc. (Headquarters: Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture; President and Representative Director: Hiroshige Sadamatsu), will be hosting its second seasonal collaboration event with the anime “Demon Slayer” at the Nijigen no Mori anime park located in Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Island Park. The event, beginning Friday, July 28th, promises to immerse visitors in the world of “Demon Slayer”.

In April of last year, Nijigen no Mori unveiled its first seasonal events in collaboration with “Demon Slayer”. The two events (immersive daytime and nighttime experiences) drew large numbers of visitors over their limited-time run.
Due to the success of the first event, Nijigen no Mori has announced a second series of events – Nijigen no Mori × “Demon Slayer”: “Night Walk: Swordsmith Village Arc” (nighttime event) and Nijigen no Mori × “Demon Slayer”: “ Riddle Solving Walk: “Hashira Vanished in the Village of Flower Fall”  (daytime event).
In the nighttime event, scenes from the anime’s Swordsmith Village Arc are brought vividly to life with projection mapping along a 1.2 kilometer stretch of forest. Participants take on the role of apprentice swordsmiths as they venture into the night forest, following Tanjiro Kamado and the Hashiras’ epic battle against demons as it unfolds before their eyes.
The daytime event leads participants around an area with character cutouts of the Demon Slayer cast featuring special illustrations from ufotable, created exclusively for Nijigen no Mori. Along the way, participants take part in one of two riddle-solving games of different difficulty levels. They will join Tanjiro Kamado and his companions as they search the village of flower fall and untangle the mystery of the missing Hashira.
　English instruction kits are available for both events from 7^th October, so visitors from overseas can also join the fun.
Besides Nijigen no Mori exclusive original goods, the park is also serving new original dishes inspired by characters including Tanjiro Kamado, Mitsuri Kanroji, Muichiro Tokito, and others.

※About the Anime “Demon Slayer”

The anime is based on the original manga created by Koyoharu Gotouge. Published in 23 volumes under Shueisha’s Jump Comics imprint, the series sold over 150 million copies. The anime adaptation was produced by Ufotable. The story follows the teenage protagonist Tanjiro Kamado’s quest for revenge after his family is cruelly slaughtered by demons. He joins an elite group known as the Demon Slayer Corps, aiming to avenge his family’s deaths and find a cure for his sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a demon. In April 2019, the series began airing as the TV anime ” Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Tanjiro Kamado Risshi-hen”, and in October 2020, the movie “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Mugen Train Arc” began its run. An anime adaptation of the same name ran from 2021-22, followed by “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc”. February 2023 saw the global release of the film “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Swordsmith Village Arc”, and the TV anime version, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Swordsmith Village Arc” began airing in April. With its poignant stories of humans and demons, chilling battles, intriguing characters and sometimes comical scenes, the series has won popularity the world over.
