Fans of "Crayon Shin-chan" know that Shin-chan's dad, Hiroshi Nohara, wields the ultimate weapon: his worn socks. Famous for his potent foot odor, Hiroshi's socks are practically the most formidable weapon on Earth.
Over on Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, the anime and game-themed "Nijigen no Mori" park just launched a hilariously audacious event: the "Real-Life Hiroshi's Stinky Socks 10-Second Challenge"! Think you can withstand the terrifying olfactory assault of Hiroshi's infamous footwear? The challenge runs from March 20th to May 31st, and anyone visiting the park can give it a shot.
These "Hiroshi Nohara's Stinky Socks" are currently on display within the park's facilities. They even boast that you'll experience the exact same aroma as in the anime, and they're kept sealed in a box to prevent the potent odor from escaping!
During the "Hiroshi's Stinky Socks 10-Second Challenge," if you can brave the stench for a full 10 seconds without surrendering, you'll snag an exclusive "Hiroshi Nohara sticker" from Nijigen no Mori as a souvenir! The official statement reassures challengers: "While the smell is incredibly potent, it has no adverse effects on the human body." (Your psyche, however, might be a different story...)
▼ And here's your reward for conquering the stinky socks!
Nijigen no Mori is definitely a theme park worth pilgrimaging to! If you're eager to take on "Hiroshi's Stinky Socks," the challenge runs from March 20th to May 31st, 2026. Go see if you can withstand this epic odor offensive!
