Product Details

Step into the hidden world of Japanese ninjas at Ninja Sanctuary, located in the scenic Arashiyama area.
This hands-on experience lets you try authentic ninja training, including blowgun shooting, shuriken (throwing star) practice, and full ninja costume dressing.

After changing into your ninja outfit, you’ll train with real ninja-style tools under the guidance of an English-speaking instructor. Learn basic ninja techniques, take photos in a traditional ninja setting, and feel like a true shinobi.

You can also choose a costume-only walking option, where you keep the ninja costume and freely explore the streets of Arashiyama.
You simply return the costume any time within the same day during business hours, giving you plenty of flexibility to enjoy sightseeing and photos at your own pace.

The activity starts and ends at the same location, making it easy to continue exploring Arashiyama after your experience.
