Baruto-no-niwa, Film set and theme park in Ōasa-chō Hinoki, Naruto, Japan

Baruto-no-niwa was a theme park in Ōasa-chō Hinoki, Naruto, Tokushima Prefecture, built around the film set of the 2006 movie Baruto no Gakuen and the Bandō prisoner-of-war camp it depicts. The grounds held eight reconstructed set buildings, including a gate, guardhouse, print shop, bakery and barracks, alongside an actual officers' barracks moved from the camp.

The site opened in 2010 to commemorate the experiences of German soldiers held at the Bandō prisoner-of-war camp during World War I. The exhibition focused on this lesser-known chapter of German-Japanese history.

The park presented exhibitions about the interactions between Japanese guards and German prisoners through artifacts, photographs, and reconstructed environments. Visitors could understand this historical exchange between two nations.

The facility has been closed to visitors since May 6, 2015, though photographic documentation and information remain accessible through digital archives. Interested visitors can still find online resources that show what the former site looked like.

The site lay in Ōasa-chō Hinoki, Naruto, Tokushima, the same area as the Bandō prisoner-of-war camp, not another region. Its grounds held eight film-set buildings, among them a guardhouse, print shop, bakery and canteen, plus one genuine officers' barracks moved from the camp. In 2011 a brick oven was rebuilt inside the bakery set, and bread baked in it was sold in limited quantities on weekends and holidays.
