AWAJI, JAPAN, April 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nijigen no Mori Inc. (Head Office: Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture; President and CEO: Hiroshige Sadamatsu) today announced that “Monster Hunter Bridge,” an experiential attraction that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the world of the “Monster Hunter” series and is currently exhibited inside the “Osaka Healthcare Pavilion” in Expo 2025, Osaka, Kansai, Japan (hereinafter “Expo 2025”), will be relocated around fiscal 2027 to Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park Nijigen no Mori in Japan.

“Monster Hunter Bridge” is an experiential attraction developed by Capcom Co., Ltd.

By wearing specialized AR devices, visitors can enjoy the world of “Monster Hunter” through an unprecedented immersive experience that combines a 360° theater, immersive sound, and floor vibrations. The attraction proved highly popular, drawing approximately 100,000 visitors during the exhibition period.
At Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park “Nijigen no Mori,” which has now been selected as the relocation site, “Monster Hunter The Field in Nijigen no Mori” was operated from July 2024 through November 2025. Visitors enjoyed the world of “Monster Hunter” reproduced in the great outdoors through two types of quests: “Field Exploration,” in which they searched for scattered Item Boxes and “Palico” companions across an area of approximately 130,000 m², and “Large Monster Hunt,” in which they wore a dedicated action controller and a tracking device, and attempted to defeat giant monsters appearing on screen.
