Ninja Museum of Iga-ryu (Ninja House) 伊賀流忍者博物館(忍者屋敷)

You can get a thrilling experience as if you had sneaked into a ninja house.

The exterior resembles a typical farmhouse with a thatched roof, but inside, various mechanisms are cleverly hidden in preparation for enemy attacks. Visitors can observe demonstrations and explanations of these techniques within the facility, and some experiences are also available.

In the two exhibition rooms, "Ninjutsu Experience Hall" and "Ninja Tradition Hall," authentic ninja tools and valuable ancient documents are on display. Additionally, there is an original ninja merchandise shop called "Ninja Bo" within the premises.

Furthermore, on the show stage, a thrilling ninja performance by the Iga ninja group "Ashura" is held. This show is highly popular among visitors (admission fee: 500 yen; please check the show schedule in advance).

Visitors can also experience throwing real Shuriken for an additional fee of 300 yen.
