Nijigen no Mori NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-Zato Hosts Limited-Time ‘Escape from the Genjutsu’ for Itachi & Sasuke Birthday

From Tuesday, June 9 to Thursday, July 23, 2026

AWAJI, JAPAN, June 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In Japan, at Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park Anime Park Nijigen no Mori, the popular attraction “NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-Zato” will host a highly anticipated, fully immersive mission to celebrate the birthdays of fan-favorite characters Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha. The special event, titled “Escape from the Genjutsu,” will be held for a limited time from Tuesday, June 9 to Thursday, July 23, 2026.

This mission is an indoor escape-style attraction themed around the illusionary world created by Itachi Uchiha’s genjutsu cast upon Sasuke Uchiha. Participants step into a pitch-black space where they are trapped within the genjutsu and, armed with only a single red light casting a faint glow, must attempt to escape within a 15-minute time limit.

The only things participants can rely on are their own senses and judgement. To break free from Itachi’s genjutsu, they must uncover subtle clues hidden in the darkness; otherwise, there is no way out of this world.

Those who successfully escape will receive an exclusive “Gemaki-style” original bromide, available only at NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-Zato. In addition, a “Time Attack Ranking” will be held, recording each team’s escape time. The player or team achieving the top result during the event period will be awarded an official “Special Certificate.”
Experience an unprecedented escape mission steeped in extreme tension as you attempt to break free from Itachi’s genjutsu.
