The price is 3,000 yen on weekends, holidays, between March 27 and April 7, and on May 1 and 2. Tickets cost 2,500 yen ($19) on weekdays. Naruto x Boruto VR is intended for players aged 10 or older. “We might apply (the attraction) to other intellectual properties,” said Toshiyuki Hiraoka, general manager of animation business at the broadcaster. It was jointly developed by Tokyo-based Five for Co., which produces VR equipment, and TV Tokyo Corp. Naruto’s mentor, Kakashi Hatake, and other popular characters from the anime are also featured in the VR attraction. The character joins the player in a mission that involves battling enemy ninja and monsters using “ninjutsu” (ninja arts) and swords. Naruto also appears in “real-life” size, or about 150 centimeters tall, and gives encouragement to the player: “We can do it together.”

They can walk through the village and jump onto a roof by moving their bodies with exclusive hand-held controllers. Konohagakure comes into view in the metaverse when players wear VR goggles in the attraction. The anime is based on a manga by Masashi Kishimoto about Naruto, who attends a ninja school.

The “Naruto x Boruto VR” attraction is being offered at the DiverCity Tokyo Plaza complex until May 28. Fans of the “Naruto” anime series can now run around the ninja village of Konohagakure with their favorite characters in a virtual-reality attraction at Tokyo’s Odaiba waterfront district.
