A one-of-a-kind stop for history buffs, families, and travelers eager to experience authentic Japanese ninja culture.
as, kusari fundo, and hidden mechanisms, Ninpaku boasts one of the largest permanent exhibitions of ninja tools in Japan. The collection, known as the Yamagishi Collection, was curated by the late Kenji Yamagishi, a renowned collector of ninja tools from all over the country. The use of projection mapping, kinetic light systems, interactive flooring, and other cutting-edge audiovisual lighting techniques breathe new life into the antiquities on display. Adjacent to Ninpaku, like a twin, is the warehouse of ninja entertainment called "Nintame." It stands out as a ninja training ground for children, offering VR sword fighting attraction "VS Sanada Yukimura," a shuriken game for young children using CG, classic ninja games, and the opportunity to experience ninja and armor cosplay. A visit to Ninpaku takes you on a time leap spanning 400 years.
