I feel more like a ninja than I ever did 😁 - Haruki and Kanna were so charismatic and knowledgeable, they created such an engaging experience for us. The artifacts were so well preserved and beautiful. There were plenty of English translations. The ninja throwing star experience was a ton of fun (throwing is a lot harder than it looks)! Overall a really great time.

Tourist Trap - There was a large group of tourists there. A mini talk on the samurai and ninja is given. Photos dressed in a samurai outfit with plastic replica swords is available and a ninja star throwing competition too. Pressure at end to score highly on TripAdvisor via QR code and a little gift to say thanks is offered.
