Experience the samurai spirit of Japan

You can be a samurai and ninja, too. At the Japanese Tatedo Association in Osaka, you can learn directly from masters and experience samurai and ninja. Let's change into the outfit you want out of more than 100 outfits and learn the posture and etiquette first. After learning how to hold a knife and move, you can also challenge yourself to the acting you want, such as scenes from your favorite movies. Anyone can be a great samurai because the professional matches my movements. Those who wish can also challenge the Suri sword.

Let's feel the samurai spirit that has been handed down to Japan even now.

[Japan] Chibikko Kids Ninja Village

 

The park where ninjas go to play

Nestled in the forest at the foot of Mt. Togakushi, northwest of Nagano City, the Kids Ninja Village is a ninja theme park geared for kids and the young at heart. Come to live out your ninja fantasy.

How to Get There

The park is an easy bus ride from Nagano Station.

The number 70 or 71 bus bound for Togakushi will take you to the Togakushi-Chusha bus stop, about 65 minutes away. From there the ninja village is a 15-minute walk down the road.

Home of the Ninja

Not to be confused with the Togakure Ninja Museum up the road, the Kids Ninja Village is a martial-arts loving kids' dream. Billing themselves as the “Home of Ninja,” kids can play at becoming shadow warriors with a host of hands-on activities. The village lets them don ninja outfits and slink their way through attractions like forested obstacle courses, climbing walls, and a blow dart range. There's a shadow warrior funhouse full of secret passages and trapdoors, and the park's climbing walls and shuriken throwing course are hugely popular.

Events and performances

The Ninja Village holds many events and performances throughout the season, including a ninja water walking performance, combat technique demonstrations, and a shuriken throwing contest.

Souvenirs

On the way out, you or the kids may want a ninja headband or wristband as a souvenir. Or buy the whole uniform and, as the village says, “become a true international ninja.”
