Hellooooooo! I traveled to Awaji Island, an island filled in nature in Hyogo prefecture in Kansai region. It’s about 1.5h from Osaka.

I heard about a newly open NIGHT WALK attraction through the forest called NIJIGEN NO MORI, then I came here to see it😄

 

NIGHT WALK in NIJIGEN NO MORI

This attraction features “PHOENIX”, a manga by OSAMU TEZUKA, one of the most famous manga authors in Japan.

Meeting Local tribe Amahn

According to this mysterious guy who welcomed me at the entrance of the forest, he is from the local tribe called “Amahn tribe”.

He told all about how to walk the night forest. He looks kind of scary at first, but we soon became good friends!!!

 

He handed me a bottle of water and a map of the forest.

This map shows the right way under special light👀

 

Towards the deep forest

I never knew the night forest has such stunning beauty, and trees talk showing up their face!! You’ll enjoy the walk through the mysterious light that the trees emit😆

Entrance to the forest

Eggs!?!?

A show by the forest with cheerful music. Fireworks show up on the trees😍

 

Secret of the forest

You’ll see people form Amahn tribe here and there. They’re very kind and they tell you the secret of their forest.

It was a very exciting and impressive walk!!!

If you are in Japan and visit Osaka, visiting here in Awaji Island is another option to experience Japan’s fusion of technology and nature.

Go find what this blue pond-like thing is! I’m not telling now^^
