Aside from the Demon Slayer VR ride that will be arriving in Universal Studios Japan in September, Demon Slayer fans now have one more reason to visit the amusement park. As part of the USJ x Demon Slayer collaboration event, the park will be opening a Demon Slayer restaurant with life-size models of Hashira members, Giyu and Shinobu. It will run from 17th September 2021 to 13 February 2022.

The restaurant is called Fuji no Hana no Shokujidokoro, which roughly translates to Wisteria Restaurant. It gets its name from the abundance of wisterias used to decorate the place. As wisterias are used in the anime to ward off demons, you will be able to eat your meal in the restaurant without worrying about any demons attacking.

The restaurant offers many Hashira member-inspired meals. This includes the Ao no gozen, a meal inspired by Water Hashira Tomioka Giyu. It features his favourite salmon with radish placed in a small bowl.

These life-size models are meticulously crafted, judging from its texture and details of the character in the anime.

If you want your very own picture with life-size Giyu and Shinobu, you can also request the staff to take photos for you. However, do take note that this is a paid service, and there are certain rules you need to adhere to, such as not touching the life-size models, and not to bring any food into the photoshoot area.
