This is great for children who like different types of weapons.

The teacher provided excellent guidance.

Although it was a one-hour experience, the instructor was very diligent.

My child really enjoyed it.

We had a great time and are leaving with happy memories.

Ninja Experience Course.

You can try throwing shurikens, shooting poison darts, and wielding a katana.

The session lasts about an hour, so if you visit with friends, you can take lots of fun photos.

The owner and staff treat you very well haha. I highly recommend it if you come to Osaka~

I made a reservation through WAUG.

I chose the Jiraiya course, and it was a fun one-hour experience.

I was able to listen to explanations in English and Japanese, and since it was a physical activity, it wasn't too difficult.

We got to learn ninja star throwing, blow dart shooting, and even katana handling. The instructors did the safety part with a bit of acting and humor, which made it both safe and entertaining. Super interactive, super fun, and honestly a great way to feel like a kid again.

This place is a must try if you are in Osaka.

They offer a touch of entry level ninja training.

Aoi (Our host) is very friendly and patient, always ready with a smile.

Do try the Ninja beer and just follow her instructions and you will have a memorable session.

An interesting find! The staff were very friendly. Had fun throwing ninja stars, blowing darts and learning katana (sword) drills! Got a bit of insight into Ninja practices too. Nice hour of fun with family! Includes a drink per person.

We tried this in Kyoto years ago as a family when my youngest was in my belly. Brought him to the Osaka branch as they had the hidden door feature. My boy was initially very shy but the instructors were super patient and encouraging that he opened up very quickly. The session was super fun! Highly recommended activity when visiting Osaka!

This was the funnest experience ever! We had an incredible ninja sensei who guided us through many extremely enjoyable activities like shuriken throwing, blow darts, and sword training. Her energy heavily influenced our experience and made it an awesome time. She carried the vibes and made us laugh throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend! PS. This is our ninja guide. She rocks

The ninja experience cafe in Kyoto was a truly immersive experience indulging us in the different ways and experiences of the ninja. The shuriken throwing, blowdarting, and katana classes were extremely exciting and thrilling. Will definitely recommend to other travelling in Kyoto and even locals. Thank you for an unforgettable ninja experience!

We had an absolutely amazing Ninja experience in Kyoto! From start to finish, everything was fun, unique, and incredibly well organized. The instructors were true experts, we learned real Ninja moves and techniques, and they made the whole experience exciting, authentic, and easy to follow.

One of the highlights was walking through the Kyoto streets fully dressed as Ninja warriors. It was such a cool and unforgettable way to explore the city! Our guides knew so much about Japanese culture, food, and traditions, and they shared fascinating stories along the way. It felt like a perfect blend of adventure and cultural discovery.

Overall, it was an excellent experience, fun, informative, and truly one of a kind. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Kyoto!

To the whole staff: Thank you so so much passion for what you do! Your energy made the whole experience even more special.

I went by myself and paid for the full experience (ninja costume, ninja training, food and drink). The food options are limited but there was vegetarian curry and it was really tasty. The ninja training was very fun and my instructor (who spoke excellent English) took a lot of pictures for me. I was awkward with a sword and missed a lot with the shurikens, but my skills lie with the blowgun.

My husband and I had an absolute blast at the Ninja Café in Harajuku tonight! If you’re looking for a unique, active, and hilariously entertaining experience in Tokyo, this is it.

Our instructor, Chiba Sensei, was the highlight of the session. He was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but also very patient as we fumbled through our training. We got to suit up in full ninja gear and try our hands at the katana, shuriken, and blow darts.

I won't spoil the surprises, but the experience perfectly balances physical activity with the fascinating skill of the traditional ninja. We spent the night laughing and feeling genuinely challenged. It is well worth the visit, and we’ll be recommending this to all our friends visiting Japan!

00:40 07 Feb 26

We were looking for ninja experience and found this place. Ateera Sensei was fabulous. She teaches well, very friendly and enthusiastic in guiding her students. Now we know how to use a katana, throw shurikens and blow darts.

Food presentation is pretty but taste wise is average.

A fun experience that we would highly recommend!

I had so much fun here. Gon was my trainer and he was great. I paid for the training and costume and they even let my girlfriend throw some ninja stars for free. We trained with Katanas, shurikens and fukiya and I popped the balloon first try. Every time I thought it was over, it was more training. Def recommend 5/5! Thanks Gon for the great memories!!!

Was really hot outside so when we got to the Cafe, I was sweating and exhausted. The male host working at the time was so nice and hospitalable, was thankful that he asked to take a video of our ninja sword lessons so we can look back at the fun times we experienced in that Cafe. It's real fun for first time tourist, always more fun to bring more than yourself there! Would recommend tourist to come if they're into ninja, anime and fun. We entered the Cafe with a frowning face, and left smiling and laughing. It's experiences like these that makes me want to vacation in Japan again. Thank you making us smile

My Brothers and I were in Harajuku searching for clothing and ended up googling ninja activities near by out of curiosity. Luckily Ninja Cafe was the first option that popped up. We did not make a reservation but Luckily the staff quickly serviced us and gave us options to being great ninjas through very fun and unexpected ninja training. Highly recommend to wind down from looking at clothing and dodging other tourist.

My 7 year old was pumped, it was the highlight of his trip! The ladies helping that day were super nice and enthusiastic. The temperature was comfortable despite it being crazy hot outside. Small drink selection but my son LOVED the ninja ale. My only complaint would be it was confusing to get started. The family there with us was helped about 10 minutes before us but the one on one ninja training was great!

Super fun experience in Harajuku! My partner and I needed a break from the heat and stumbled upon this place. I was nervous at first but the staff were a great help and welcoming! We got to throw ninja straws and try out Japanese swords techniques. Most impressive we’re the staff! They were incredibly kind and welcoming! Highly recommend 🙂

Don’t just walk up, make an online reservation. It was so much fun!!! Very good for families. The guys at this location made the experience fun and silly for the kids. The Asakusa one and this one are the same company. Definitely a great memory after a long day of sightseeing and shopping to shoot some air darts.

We went for my son. He had a lot of fun while getting ninja training. Yamuno was very involved. We also enjoyed watching them. Finally, we had a mother-son race. I think it's a good activity for kids. Thank you for your interest in Yamuno and the ninja cafe.

This is an amazing place. We got the 6200¥ package and had a lot of fun dressing up and learning the true ninja experience. There was a lot of laughter and good memories as we learned authentic swordsmanship, blowdarts, and ninja stars. The food also was delicious! Finally the 2 employees made the experience so memorable with their cheerfulness.

展示会の帰りに浅草周辺を歩いている途中で偶然見つけたお店です。赤い鳥居の外観に加えて、入口付近に置かれているたぬきの置物が妙に気になり、思わず足を止めました。

その場では入店せず、後からGoogleマップで調べてみたところ、手裏剣投げや吹き矢などの忍者修行体験ができるカフェ（バー）だと知りました。観光地・浅草らしいテーマ性があり、外国の方はもちろん、日本人でも楽しめそうな内容です。

今回は時間の都合で立ち寄れませんでしたが、外観だけでも十分インパクトがあり、記憶に残るお店でした。次回浅草を訪れる際には、実際に忍者体験をしてみたいです。

子供と１時間のコースを予約して伺いました。
コスチュームに着替えて、刀・手裏剣・吹き矢の修行へ。

子供は手裏剣の修行が特に楽しかったようです。くの一の先生が特に親切に教えてくれました。
刀の修行は、スペースがもう少し広いと(店内の広さを考えると仕方ないのですが)周りを気にせず出来るのかなという感じです。
１時間程度なので、他の観光と合わせやすいと思います。

4歳児の子どもは、吹き矢が一番楽しかったよう。

忍者グッズも売っていたので購入。

短い時間だったけどとても楽しかった。

Our boys had a wonderful time. The cafe is small, so I recommend you make a reservation, we had a drink while we watched our children learn some ninja skills. Staff was friendly and helpful and the kids enjoyed the meal afterwards. Their website is helpful and they have different options: 2 of our kids dressed up, one did not want to.

My son (9 year old) was skeptical before we came here but he definitely came around and really enjoyed himself. Kitsune (Fox) and Iago were really great hosts and got him to open up.

We had a good time and would recommend this place! They apparently opened another location so securing an reservation should be easier.

This was so much fun. It was the highlight of this trip to Japan. The staff were very friendly and kind and the drinks were delicious. We have two boys (7 and 9 years old) and they LOVED the experience. We thought this was just dressing up and posing for photos but they went through "Ninja Training" learning sword, ninja stars and blow guns. It was great.

This was a fun experience. Going into this I was not sure what to expect, but I am glad that I got to try it out. The staff was very friendly and helpful. She spoke English and explained things in a fun way. She thought us how to throw ninja shuriken and the different type, different swords stance, and blow darts. She was very playful and created a really fun experience. The food and drinks here are also tasty 🙂. Also, I am a bigger guy and they had sizes to accommodate me.

If you are not sure what to do while in Tokyo I recommend you give this experience a try. It's fun and memorable experience.

今回外国人の子ども達を連れていきたかったのですが、時間的にあまり余裕がなかったので、忍者だけでも見れてカフェだけでもいいか電話で聞きました。
スタッフの方の対応はとても感じ良く、色々提案をしてくださいました。
一応予約だけして予約時間に行ったのですが、先約の方がまだ修行中で、なかなかすぐに体験ができなかったのが残念です。ただお店の方はとても親切で、子ども達も待っている間刀や、他のものをみて楽しんでいました。
お店自体は想像していたものと異なりかなり規模が小さく、物足りなさも感じますが、それでも外国人の方は楽しめるのではないかと思っています。

外国からの大人だけでは少し物足りないと思いますが、特に小さいお子様ならおすすめです。
ただ今回大人も10回の手裏剣を3回づつ交互に投げることに。笑
結果私達大人も楽しめました。
私はこの忍者ビールが飲めただけでも良かったです。

I write reviews in English because I want foreign tourists to enjoy here! It's a little hard to find because it's a store on the first floor of an apartment. The door is a sliding door and very heavy, but this is for training! Inside the store, the chairs are probably small for people with large bodies. There are few meal menus, but curry rice is recommended! This is the place to experience the NINJA. You can experience shuriken, blowgun, and sword fighting. Very kind staff, you can have a good time

手裏剣、刀、吹き矢を扱いました、息子達も喜んでました。

小さい女の子や、大人の女性の方も居たので、案外万人ウケするかもです。
