5.00Ninja Cafe and Bar was amazing! We stopped in for a mid-day drink and participated in the throwing star experience. What an awesome time. The owner of the bar was absolutely amazing as well….. he was friendly since the moment we got inside, he talked with us, explained the menu, and showed us how to properly throw the stars. What a gray memory for me and my groups of friends during our visit to Takayama. I highly recommend stopping here!
Great themed activities and drinks

4.00I found the place by walking past it and it looked fun. I took my dad to here and we learned how to properly throw shurikens. After I had a competition with my dad and sadly lost but it was a lot of fun! It looks like it’s for kids but it is also a lot of fun for adults. They were polite people and de guy helping with the throwing also made it fun for us!
Great family fun on the ninja theme

5.00We came here by change we had seen it the other day, and we wanted to have this ninja experience. It was so much fun to try Shuriken and the blow dart. First we learned how to do it and we had little battle :) The host was showing us how to do it. And he was so kind, and he helped us to enjoy our experience. If you are in Takayama, I recommend you to try this fun, interesting experience. I loved it 😍🤩

5.00We just happened to be in this Ninja Bar. We were greeted by a very kind guy and he spoke very good English. Bar that also offers several ninja-style activities, we tried the launch of the ninja stars, an excellent experience concluded with the laughter of everyone present. If you are in Takayama, stop by and you will not regret it
