Great experience to do with children young and old. We all had fun together practicing shuriken shooting, arrows and basic training for the Katanas. The augmented reality game is definitely worth it. We highly recommend!
Excellent experience and great fun

The overwhelming worldview and satisfaction! I went to Ninja Cafe Takayama for a family ninja experience 🚗 Elementary school students and 3-year-olds are overjoyed! I did a full course of Shuriken, Fukiya, Katana, and VR experiences, but the gentle ninja staff taught me how to do them all, and I was more than satisfied with the price! Repeat is confirmed when you come to Takayama again! Also, I thought it was amazing that we were dealing with foreign customers, , 👏

I experienced Shuriken, Fukiya, Iai and VR all. I enjoyed 1. and 6. The sixth grade boys seemed to like Iai the most, and the first grade girls the most. It adapts to your child's level. The middle school girl ate the fiery pudding. The whole family enjoyed it. The ninja brother's talk was very interesting and I really enjoyed it! There are not many ninjas, so we recommend making a reservation!

It was a hands-on cafe, and children in sixth and first grade seemed to be having a lot of fun. The actual shuriken throwing was also realistic, and the basic kata of Iai was very good. The older brother who taught me ninjutsu had a very interesting and enjoyable time. Thank you very much.
