Attraction Overview
The “Yokai Yashiki” ~Kubio no Seiru~ is a large-scale renewal of the existing “Nishi-no-Yashiki” attraction in the theme park.
While the interior and exterior remain unchanged, the latest AR technology has been introduced to transform the facility into a completely new experience.
The story of the attraction is to prevent the resurrection of the nine-tailed fox, which has been sealed away. Visitors will travel around the facility, taking on eight AR-based missions. In the process, players can enjoy not only the fun of solving riddles, but also the fantastic world view created by AR technology.
Production Background
This attraction was produced using XR City, an XR application operated by NTT ConoQ Inc. 360Channel was commissioned by NTT ConoQ Inc. and was in charge of the entire process from planning to production installation and delivery. Based on the theme of “The Specter of the Nine Foxes,” the content was planned and produced as a circular interactive content that combines AR and riddle solving. This new approach provides an immersive experience.
Character Design by Popular Artist✕ Popular Voice Actor
Adding to the attraction’s appeal are the characters that appear. Ten different characters, including the nine-tailed fox, will appear, each adding color to the story. The character designs are completely original drawings by popular illustrators Shie Nanahara and Sakyu.
The richly individualistic designs of both artists make the world of the attraction even more appealing.
