NARUTO – Konoha Land at Parc Spirou: our look at the immersive manga zone

The village of Konoha has come to life in Provence. Since 4 April 2026, Parc Spirou Provence, located in Monteux in the Vaucluse, has been home to NARUTO – Konoha Land, a 1.5-hectare immersive zone entirely devoted to the universe imagined by Masashi Kishimoto. Two attractions, a training ground, the monumental Hokage Rock, life-size characters, ramen and a dedicated shop now await budding shinobi.

The first zone of this scale in Europe dedicated to Naruto, Konoha Land also marks a genuine turning point for Parc Spirou, historically devoted to the heroes of Franco-Belgian comics. We were able to discover this new extension in real conditions: the immersion begins the moment you pass under the village gates, with the lanterns of Konoha, the anime's music and several settings that fans will recognise instantly.

Konoha Land: 1.5 hectares entirely dedicated to Naruto

Announced back in 2024, the NARUTO – Konoha Land zone required several years of development before opening to the public in April 2026. The project was developed with the Japanese rights holders of the franchise to recreate the Hidden Leaf Village of Konoha as faithfully as possible.

Across 15,000 m², visitors encounter several iconic locations from the anime: the Hokage Rock carved into the cliff, the Hokage's Office, spaces inspired by Team Kakashi's training grounds, and the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant.

The whole area is particularly well crafted visually. Lanterns, buildings, vegetation and references scattered throughout the zone contribute to the immersion, while 10 life-size statues bring several major characters from the saga to life.

Kyûbi Unchained, Konoha Land's big roller coaster

The zone's main attraction is Kyûbi Unchained, a roller coaster directly inspired by the nine-tailed fox demon. The storyline imagines Kyûbi breaking the seal left by the Fourth Hokage, with visitors then having to try to bring it under control.

The attraction offers more than a kilometre of track, an advertised top speed of 75 km/h and a highest point of 30 metres. One of its distinctive features is a backwards sequence that completely changes the sensations midway through the ride.

The theming even extends to the train, directly inspired by Kyûbi. The attraction can be ridden alone from 1.30 m, or accompanied from 1.05 m.

Rasengan Chakra Rotation: the other thrill attraction

The second major attraction, Rasengan Chakra Rotation, is inspired by the famous Rasengan technique mastered by Naruto. The ride is built around four rotating arms that can accommodate up to 32 visitors in total.

The gondolas spin around a central axis while the various arms rise and fall, creating a succession of movements and rotations. The decor draws on the codes of ninja training, with depictions of Naruto and Jiraya around the attraction.

Rasengan Chakra Rotation can be ridden alone from 1.20 m and accompanied from 1 metre.

The Chûnin Exam Ground for younger visitors

The zone also features the Chûnin Exam Ground, a space for visitors from 1 metre tall. This training area extends the Naruto experience with an activity designed more with families and younger guests in mind.

The park does not rely solely on its two thrill attractions: Konoha Land was conceived as a true space to explore, with activities, settings and countless details inspired by the anime.

The Hokage Rock and 10 life-size characters

It is hard to miss the most spectacular setting in Konoha Land: the Hokage Rock. This immense carved cliff towers over part of the zone and reproduces one of Konoha's most recognisable symbols.

Around the attractions, visitors can also discover 10 life-size statues depicting several characters from the Naruto universe. Among them are Naruto, Jiraya, Minato and Gaara, placed in different areas of the zone.

The park also offers meet-and-greets with Naruto and Sasuke at certain times. Naruto also takes part in Parc Spirou's other entertainment, so the character can be found beyond the boundaries of Konoha Land alone.

Ichiraku's ramen to eat at Parc Spirou

The immersion also extends to dining. Parc Spirou has installed a genuine food outlet called Ichiraku Ramen, directly inspired by Naruto's favourite restaurant.

There is of course ramen, but also Japanese specialities such as yakitori, as well as desserts like dorayaki and mochi. This extra attention gives the zone another dimension and extends the experience beyond the attractions.

A second food spot, the Dango Shop, rounds out the offering with Japanese crêpes, bubble tea and kakigori.

The Hokage's Office turned into a Naruto shop

Before leaving Konoha, visitors can stop by the Hokage's Office, transformed into the zone's official shop. It stocks a selection of Naruto products, including several souvenirs directly tied to Konoha Land.

The venue also features a special illustration of Naruto and Kurama drawn by Masashi Kishimoto to celebrate the opening of the French zone — a particularly symbolic piece for fans of the manga.

A Naruto immersion unique in Europe

With Konoha Land, Parc Spirou Provence clearly changes scale. The zone alone occupies around 1.5 hectares and brings the park a universe very different from Spirou, Lucky Luke, Marsupilami or Kid Paddle.

The appeal of this extension lies not only in its attractions. The care given to the settings, the Hokage Rock, the statues, the dining and the references to the series genuinely lets you wander through a small piece of Konoha.

For fans of Naruto and Japanese culture, this new zone is now one of the most original attractions to discover in a French theme park. And for Parc Spirou, Konoha Land opens the way to a new generation of visitors, far beyond the traditional Franco-Belgian comics audience.

Location: Parc Spirou en Provence, 1 Rue Jean-Henri Fabre, 84170 Monteux. Access: TGV to Avignon station (2h45 from Paris), by road A7 exit Avignon Nord.
