Konoha comes to life at Parc Spirou Provence, with 1.5 hectares devoted to Naruto, two attractions, the Hokage Rock, ramen stalls, and a wealth of scenery.
The village of Konoha comes to life in Provence. Since April 4, 2026, the Parc Spirou Provence, based in Monteux in the Vaucluse, is presenting NARUTO – Konoha Land, a 1.5-hectare immersive zone devoted entirely to Masashi Kishimoto’s world. Two rides, a ninja training ground, the monumental Hokage Rock, life-size characters, ramen, and a dedicated shop now welcome aspiring shinobi.
First European zone of this size dedicated to Naruto, Konoha Land also signals a real turning point for Parc Spirou, historically, the domain of Franco-Belgian comic book heroes. We had the chance to explore this new expansion in real-world conditions: immersion begins the moment you step through the village gates, with Konoha lanterns, the anime’s soundtrack, and several décors instantly recognizable to fans.
Konoha Land: 1.5 hectares fully dedicated to Naruto
First announced in 2024, the NARUTO – Konoha Land zone took several years to develop before opening to the public in April 2026. The project was developed in collaboration with the license’s Japanese rights holders to faithfully recreate the Hidden Leaf Village (Konoha).
Across 15,000 m², visitors will encounter several iconic spots from the anime: the Hokage Monument carved into rock, the Hokage Office, training-ground-inspired areas reminiscent of Kakashi’s team, and the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant.
The overall presentation is particularly polished on a visual level. Lanterns, buildings, vegetation and references scattered throughout the area contribute to immersion, while 10 life-size statues allow visitors to encounter several major characters from the saga.
Kyûbi Unchained, Konoha Land’s marquee roller coaster
The main attraction in the zone is Kyûbi Unchained, a roller coaster directly inspired by the nine-tailed demon fox. The storyline envisions Kyûbi breaking the seal left by the Fourth Hokage, with riders then attempting to master it.
The attraction features more than a kilometer of track, a top speed of 75 km/h, and a peak height of 30 meters. One of its defining quirks is a segment performed in reverse, which completely changes the feel of the ride.
The theming carries through into the train, directly inspired by Kyûbi. The attraction is accessible to solo riders from 1.30 m in height, or to those accompanied from 1.05 m.
Rasengan Chakra Rotation: the other thrill ride
Second marquee attraction, Rasengan Chakra Rotation draws on Naruto’s famed Rasengan technique. The ride runs on four rotating arms that can accommodate a total of 32 visitors.
The gondolas rotate around a central axis as the various arms rise and fall, creating a sequence of movements and spins. The set draws on ninja-training aesthetics, notably featuring depictions of Naruto and Jiraiya around the attraction.
Rasengan Chakra Rotation is accessible solo from 1.20 m and with a partner from 1 m.
The Chunin Exam Grounds for the Youngest
The area also features the Chunin Exam Training Ground, a space designed for visitors who are at least 1 metre tall. This training zone extends the Naruto experience with an activity that’s more geared toward families and younger fans.

The park isn’t built solely around its two adrenaline-pumping attractions: Konoha Land has been designed as an immersive space to explore, with activities, themed scenery and countless details inspired by the anime.
The Hokage Rock and Ten Life-Size Figures
It’s hard to miss the most spectacular backdrop at Konoha Land: the Hokage Monument. This immense sculpted cliff looms over part of the area and features one of Konoha’s most recognizable symbols.
Alongside the attractions, visitors can also discover 10 life-size statues depicting characters from the Naruto universe. Among them are Naruto, Jiraiya, Minato and Gaara, installed in different areas of the zone.
The park also offers meet-and-greets with Naruto and Sasuke at scheduled times. Naruto also participates in the Parc Spirou’s activities, which lets visitors encounter the character beyond the confines of Konoha Land.
Ichiraku ramen to sample at Spirou Park
Immersion also means taking a break to eat. Parc Spirou has unveiled a genuine dining spot called Ichiraku Ramen, directly inspired by Naruto’s favorite restaurant.
There are, of course, ramen, but also Japanese specialties such as yakitori, as well as desserts like dorayaki and mochi. A thoughtful touch that adds an extra dimension to the area and lets visitors extend the experience beyond the attractions.
A second indulgent spot, the Dango Shop, rounds out the offering with, in particular, Japanese crepes, bubble tea and kakigori.
Hokage’s Office Reimagined as a Naruto Shop
Before you leave Konoha, visitors can stop by The Hokage’s Office, now turned into the zone’s official shop. Inside you’ll find a curated selection of Naruto merchandise, including several keepsakes tied directly 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 piece particularly symbolic for manga fans.
The only Naruto immersion experience in Europe
With Konoha Land, the Parc Spirou Provence clearly steps up a gear. The area alone spans roughly 1.5 hectares and introduces a universe very different from Spirou, Lucky Luke, Marsupilami or Kid Paddle.
The appeal of this expansion isn’t just about its attractions. The meticulous attention to the scenery, the Hokage Monument, the statues, the restoration work, and the nods to the series genuinely let you stroll through a small corner of Konoha.
For fans of Naruto and Japanese culture, this new zone has quickly become one of the most original attractions to discover at a French amusement park. And for Parc Spirou, Konoha Land signals the arrival of a new generation of visitors, far beyond the traditional Franco-Belgian comic audience.
