Highlights of the trip

HIROAKI_I, Dec 2023

It's so much fun! Real shuriken and balloon popping with a blowgun are highly recommended if you come to Takayama. You can take some very memorable and special photos.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We are glad that you enjoyed the real shuriken and blowgun balloon popping activities in Takayama. Our goal is to create memorable and special moments for our visitors, and we're glad you enjoyed capturing them in photos. Thank you for your recommendation.

Cool Nija techniques in practice.

It was very cool! The “teacher” was also very nice and explained everything great. We trained in the ninja garb with the sword, a throwing star and a blowpipe!
