ZUTOMAYO Heijokyo Live “The Literary Punishment of the Thunder” Tour (Round-Trip Bus Service from Osaka)

  • Tour Details

2. In addition to a concert ticket, this special package includes food coupons that can be used at the venue, allowing you to fully enjoy gourmet food, food stalls, and the festival area.
3. Round-trip transportation by chartered bus from Osaka (Namba Station) is included, making travel easy and stress-free. Recommended even for those attending a live concert in Japan for the first time.
4. A wide range of collaboration merchandise created with companies and shops associated with Nara Prefecture and the Nara Period (710-794) will also be available. One of the highlights is the opportunity to discover exclusive items available only at this event.
5. LEGACY ZOMBIE LABO “The Literary Punishment of the Thunder” is an alternate-history tale imagining what if envoys to Tang China, after drifting at sea for 1,300 years, returned as zombies. Carrying the hopes and curses entrusted to written words, they begin to recover their lost memories through the sound of thunder. Bridging Heijō-kyō in 710 and the year 2026, the story depicts human emotions resonating across time and generations.
