About This Tour
Go beyond sightseeing and step into the hidden world of real ninja. This tour isn’t just about history—it’s a hands-on dive into Japan’s legendary ninja culture, set in the atmospheric town of Iga. Begin at Iga Ueno Castle, a striking fortress atop Japan’s tallest stone walls, once home to feudal lords. Then explore the Iga-ryu Ninja Museum, featuring a house packed with hidden doors, trap stairs, and secret passages. See authentic ninja tools, watch live demonstrations, and walk the same paths once used by stealthy spies. Guided by a local expert, this experience is both educational and exciting—ideal for history fans, families, and curious travelers. If you’re drawn to martial arts, Japanese folklore, or off-the-beaten-path culture, this tour offers a memorable look into the art of stealth and survival. Come for the castle. Stay for the ninja. Leave with a story.
