Experience Kumamon Dungeon: A Next-Generation XR Adventure

Kumamoto City is set to unveil a revolutionary tourism experience on July 1, 2026, known as 'Kumamon Dungeon.' Developed by ABAL, a company dedicated to creating next-generation theme parks utilizing XR (extended reality) technology, this immersive experience promises both locals and visitors an unforgettable journey through the scenic attractions of Kumamoto, guided by the beloved character Kumamon.

What is Kumamon Dungeon?

Kumamon Dungeon is not just another tourist attraction; it's an interactive adventure that allows participants to engage in a story-driven experience in an enchanting XR environment. Once equipped with XR goggles, participants will enter a thrilling ride where they can physically walk through the dungeon, engaging with familiar landmarks such as Kumamoto Castle in various quest stages. This level of immersion simulates the sensation of stepping into a video game world, where adventure and exploration await.

Active Experience with Exciting Challenges

As participants navigate through the dungeon, they'll encounter missions and powerful bosses associated with Kumamoto. Each challenge requires physical movement, creating a dynamic 'experiential attraction' that caters to audiences of all ages. Whether you're a child or an adult, the excitement of completing tasks and engaging in boss battles will leave you energized and entertained.

A Rewarding Adventure

One of the standout features of Kumamon Dungeon is the treasure system. Throughout their adventure, participants will collect “treasures” in the form of medals, which can be exchanged post-experience for coupons valid at tourist sites and restaurants throughout Kumamoto, or even for Kumamon merchandise. This innovative approach seamlessly connects enjoyment, discovery, and local exploration, integrating the concepts of 'play, find, take home, and tour' into a cohesive new tourism experience.
