Shima Spain Village, a theme park in Shima City, will be hosting "THE SUNSET OF MARS," a space travel experience attraction utilizing the latest VR technology, for a limited time from July 4th (Saturday) to November 1st (Sunday), 2026.
This attraction is a VR content created by ABAL Co., Ltd., which aims to create next-generation theme parks using XR technology.
By wearing special VR goggles and exploring the virtual space by walking around on your own two feet, you can enjoy an immersive experience that makes you feel as if you are actually adventuring on Mars.
Participants will take off from Earth in a rocket and land on the red surface of Mars. They can experience a futuristic trip to Mars by touring a Martian base in a 360-degree virtual space and speeding around in a rover (space vehicle).
Furthermore, you can experience the fantastical "blue sunset" that can only be seen on Mars up close, and you might even have an encounter with Martians.
Furthermore, photos taken in the virtual space can be downloaded to your smartphone, allowing you to take home special memories with family and friends.
Experience a completely new kind of space travel at Shima Spain Village.
