Brought my family and this far exceeded our expectations. The instructor was incredibly funny and very knowledgeable. I was really surprised to hear my wife and daughter tell me how fun they thought it was. 100% do this and enjoy it!

This was an amazing experience fir my son, wife and I. The ninja master/instructor was excellent and also spoke very good English. It’s a great way to experience a bit of history of Japan while learning a few ninja’s skills.

Great thing to do for an hour with kids. It was fun (for the adults too) and was a nice air conditioned break from seeing shrines and temples. We learned fun skills and were able to practice with some “weapons”. Definitely worth it if you have kids.

Had a lot of fun learning about ninjas, their methods and trying out their tools. Worthwhile experience to try if you're into ninjas.

The hands-on Ninja lesson with Jack was an absolute highlight of our Japan trip — especially for our teenagers! As a family, we had such a fun and engaging learning experience that we’ll always remember. Not only did we get to learn real ninja moves and see an impressive collection of ninja weapons, but Jack also shared so much fascinating information in a way that was exciting and accessible for all of us. He was incredibly friendly and kind — even taking the time to demonstrate the Shamisen when we started chatting about musical instruments. That unexpected moment of generosity made the experience feel even more personal and special. His assistant was equally wonderful — so welcoming, graceful, and elegant. Together, they created a warm, authentic atmosphere that made us feel completely at ease while diving into something truly unique. This is a must-do tour if you’re in Kyoto. We can’t recommend it highly enough — fun, informative, and truly one-of-a-kind!
