Umeda Area

Recommended for anyone wanting to visit the Anime Forest! It takes a little longer, but you avoid the hassle of transfers, which is exhausting in the city. Take the express bus and just fall asleep as soon as you board, arriving at Awaji Island comfortably and fully rested for the journey!

Using this app & booking the transportation made it easy & less stressful. After a little confusion we got our tickets & booked our bus times. It was a pleasant ride over to the park. But the real confusion is getting dropped off at a roadside oasis with really no clear direction of where to go. It’s not a theme park. It’s a giant park that offer various themed events/rides/activities within it. All are spread out and not really signed very well. You can walk 30 mins thru the park to the Godzilla or take a second bus to drop you off closer. However you have to figure out how to get to that bus. Then they drop you off at a gate without clear signs so we walked & eventually found Godzilla. It was strange. You really don’t need that much time for just the Godzilla zipline and museum. Take the last bus there and the first bus back; you’ll still have time to kill. Loved Godzilla attraction!
