Ninja training school
Join an hour long lesson in the art of ninja espionage in a Kyoto dojo
Along with geisha and samurai, one of the words most closely associated with historical Japan is ninja. These black-clad masters of espionage were especially active during the 15th-17th centuries in feudal Japan. The image of the shrouded figures creeping through castles at night has worked its way into popular culture, and has captivated the imagination of people around the world.
In a traditional reed-mat martial arts hall in the heart of Kyoto, we can arrange for you to embark upon an hour-long hands-on training adventure to learn the ninja art of stealth. Dressed in the full ninja gear you can try your hand at traditional ninja weapons, such as shuriken (metal stars), kunai (daggers), and blow guns.
