Hyogo Prefecture's Crayon Shin-chan Adventure Park at Nijigen no Mori has officially kicked off spring with a major renovation entitled "Ketsudake Big Renewal." The highlight of this initiative is the opening of a new permanent installation, the "Ora’s Chatamecha! Buri Buri House," which opened its doors on March 20, 2025, during a holiday weekend.
The new museum reimagines the playful world of Crayon Shin-chan, focusing specifically on the character's beloved 'bottom' theme. Visitors will be welcomed by a giant Shin-chan inflatable shaped like his iconic backside. The immersive exhibit aims to engage all five senses, allowing guests to fully experience the quirky and vibrant atmosphere of one of Japan's most beloved anime.
Among the attractions, guests can look forward to nostalgic displays, including emotionally moving scenes from over 30 years of Crayon Shin-chan films, aptly titled "Emotional! Great Selection of Scenes." One of the exciting installations is the "Touch the Squishy Fist" exhibit, which features renditions of Shin-chan and his friend Masao's bottoms, designed for tactile interaction. Additionally, guests can engage in the famously outrageous "Stinky! Hiroshi's Stinky Socks Challenge" and many more fan-favorite exhibits.
As a special treat, every visitor to the museum will receive a random postcard designed with a poster representing one of the featured scenes from the movies included in the exhibit, ensuring a memorable takeaway from their visit.
On the same day, a new Mini Game Corner celebrating the Crayon Shin-chan theme also opened next to the Nijigen no Mori F parking lot's information center. This attraction offers two engaging mini-games: the "Ball Strike Game," where players aim to hit targets to reveal funny illustrations of Shin-chan and his friends, and the "Korokoro Ball Game," a balance-based challenge requiring players to navigate a ball to a designated goal. Both games are available for an entry fee of 800 yen (tax included), and successful participants will have the opportunity to win adorable plush toys of their favorite characters.
This spring season at Nijigen no Mori promises a delightful and interactive adventure. Offering plenty of children-friendly attractions in the Nonbiri Hara area, it warmly invites both adults who cherish Shin-chan and young kids—who may find other activities too challenging—to revel in this new fun-filled experience.
The “Ora’s Chatamecha! Buri Buri House” museum operates from 10 AM to 5 PM, available to guests who purchase Gold or Premium tickets. The specific pricing details for various ticket types can be accessed online.
Additional features of the permanent exhibition include:
- Giants! Butt Balloon
- Emotional! Great Selection of Scenes
- Stinky! Hiroshi’s Stinky Socks Challenge
- Shocking! Nene-chan Rabbit
- Touch the Squishy Fist
- Experience Area for the Roblox Game "Crayon Shin-chan Adventure Park: Ora's Buri Buri Big Battle"
Furthermore, the museum plans to offer various seasonal exhibits and displays, enhancing the visitor experience throughout the year. For more information and updates, visitors are encouraged to check the official Nijigen no Mori website.
This exciting initiative aims to make the Crayon Shin-chan Adventure Park a must-visit destination this spring!
In summary, the Crayon Shin-chan Adventure Park at the Nijigen no Mori expands its attractions with the opening of the 'Ora’s Chatamecha! Buri Buri House' and the Mini Game Corner. These additions promise a fun and memorable experience for families and Shin-chan fans alike during the spring break.
