Japan's shadow warriors have fascinated the world for centuries, and at this dedicated ninja dojo near Nijo Castle you can step into their world. Dressed in a full ninja costume, you will learn the five core disciplines: shuriken (star) throwing, blow-pipe marksmanship, kusarigama chain technique, caltrops deployment, and the silent walking art of shinobi-aruki. A certified ninjutsu instructor (with English translation) guides you through the historical context of the Iga and Koga clans before you test your skills on purpose-built training equipment. Families, solo travellers, and corporate groups all leave with bragging rights and a ninja certificate.
