The northern area known as the Awaji Island West Coast is trending for its resort facilities that make the most of the rich nature and gourmet food, its novel theme parks, and much more. You can maintain the health of your mind and body through a trip surrounded by lush green mountains, a deep blue sea, and bright sunshine. There are also special activities that allow you to develop bonds with your beloved family and friends who you are traveling with. Please enjoy a well-being trip that promotes physical, mental, and social health.

Inside Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park is “Nijigen no Mori,” Japan’s first experiential entertainment anime park themed on nature and the two-dimensional contents of manga and anime. It makes full use of the latest technology, and the magical attractions make you feel as though you’re wandering inside a production, immersing not only kids but adults, too. Anyone can freely enjoy the multi-language compatible attractions where you actively move your body.

The spot where you can fully enjoy HELLO KITTY on the Awaji Island West Coast has become a landmark of the island. HELLO KITTY SMILE is an all-weather indoor complex that features media art exhibits, restaurants, cafes, and so on, all centered around the underwater world. The HELLO KITTY SHOW BOX is a novel theater and restaurant where you can enjoy eating vegan food while watching HELLO KITTY greeting shows plus music and dance shows by performers.

The Zen retreat facility of “Zenbo Seinei” incorporates the concept of Zen. The approximately 100-meter-long wooden deck made of a combination of different types of wood is incredible. You can enjoy a relaxing retreat experience like Zen, yoga, or meditation in an environment surrounded by magnificent nature. In addition, healthy Zenbo cuisine is provided, which makes the most of Japan’s rich fermentation culture and doesn’t contain any animal ingredients, wheat flour, oil, or white sugar. We recommend an accommodation package that allows you to enjoy such cuisine and experiences.

Awaji Island is easily accessible, taking around one hour by bus or train from Osaka and around 30 minutes from Kobe. We also recommend access via the PASONA Natureverse high-speed boat from the Osaka Expo site. You can enjoy the beautiful views of Awaji Island and the expo site from the sea during the boat trip of around one hour. Taking the high-speed boat to Awaji Island avoids the congestion of trains and buses. In addition, you can receive priority admission to the PASONA Group Pavilion as a benefit for using the high-speed boat.
