Experience a Day as a Ninja Apprentice

The Kyoto Samurai and Ninja Experience showcases a comprehensive collection of Samurai armor, weapons, and various objects from Japan's Edo period. It also offers a range of interactive samurai and ninja activities. On this occasion, I chose the Ninja Experience, which is ideal for families and beginners.
This 60-minute session provides an introduction in english to the basics of being a ninja. Participants wear ninja costumes, practice shuriken throws and darts, and engage in a friendly sword fight with a partner. The experience also includes group competitions, with a grand prize of plastic shuriken. I highly recommend this experience for families with children.
