Many people have heard of Ninjas, whether from samurai movies or pop culture. However, what you’ve seen in films and TV shows often differs from historical reality. On this private Iga tour, you’ll uncover the fascinating truth about the legendary Iga Ninja, their role in feudal Japan, and their unique way of life.

Iga Ninja Museum – Discover the Real Ninja

At the Iga Ninja Museum, you’ll learn about the actual functions of Ninja in Japan’s history. Explore their weapons, tools, and hidden techniques, and step inside a Ninja house filled with secret traps and tricks that will leave you amazed. Watch an exciting Ninja action show by “Ashura”, where highly trained performers demonstrate real combat techniques using authentic weapons. You’ll even get the chance to try throwing an actual shuriken (Ninja star), just as warriors did during the Sengoku period.

Iga Castle – A Historic Samurai Stronghold

Right next to the Ninja Museum, you’ll find Iga Ueno Castle, one of the most strategically important locations of feudal Japan. Unlike many modern reconstructions, this castle is built entirely from wood, preserving its traditional architecture. Inside, you can explore historical archives and admire a real Samurai sword up close.

Iga Kumihimo – Traditional Braided Art

Experience the beauty of Iga Kumihimo, a stunning handmade braid with over 1,000 years of history. Once used to decorate kimono sashes, samurai sword handles, and even Ninja tools, this craft remains an essential part of Japanese culture. On this tour, you’ll have the opportunity to create your own Kumihimo bracelet as a unique souvenir.

Iga Beef – A Hidden Wagyu Gem

When visiting Iga, don’t miss the chance to taste Iga Beef, one of Japan’s most exclusive Wagyu varieties. Unlike Kobe or Matsusaka beef, Iga beef is rarely available outside of the region, making it a truly special experience. Enjoy its rich flavor in dishes like Sukiyaki, Yakiniku, or even an Iga Beef Burger. Many visitors find Iga beef even more delicious than other famous Wagyu brands!
