    Absolutely amazing, my favourite thing that I did in Kyoto. I loved learning ninja techniques and history, as well as getting to try things as well. The teacher was wonderful, very encouraging and knowledgeable and everyone's English was great. It was all so much fun but my favourite was the scene working with a hand held kunai and when the master demonstrated with traditional shuriken.

  • Learned alot and had fun

    My partner and I had an amazing time doing this ninja experience! It turned out to be a great mix of knowledge and physical 'ninja training.' We enjoyed it even more than expected. Jack was a wonderful ninja trainer for us, and Atsuko helped nicely too. Highly recommended! Josh

    We had the BEST time in this class. We learnt a variety of ninja moves and had fun learning the art of throwing ninja stars and the blowgun. Made our trip to Kyoto even more memorable, highly recommend!

    Fantastic experience! Our tour guide was Sho and he was awesome. He was an expert on ninja history and we learnt so much. His communication was very easy to understand, he had a great sense of humour and we enjoyed practising all the manoeuvres and throwing various objects at the targets. Highly recommend this experience.

    We had a blast. When we first signed up, we thought it might be a little cheesy but once you get in there and they help you put on your ninja outfit you can start to tell that this is actually going to be fun. They allow you to throw multiple different types of weapons and teach you real techniques.

    For context, I am a 33-year-old male from US and I did this experience with my friend who is same age. Pros: It was entertaining and the hour flew by because we were doing so many activities. You learn a little bit about ninja history, but nothing too in-depth. We laughed and took a ton of photos. The staff was also very nice. Also great for families or date activities and centrally located. Cons: It felt gimmicky. It was very high-level so I didn't leave feeling very knowledgeable about ninja/samurai. I wouldn't recommend if you want a true authentic experience.

  • Highly Recommend!!

    My sister and I thought this experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Kyoto!! The host was funny and knew a lot about ninjas! We learned so much and it felt like a private experience! He even accommodated us because we were a little late due to traffic.
