One of the highlights of Japan - Highly recommend this experience. Went with my son and 9 year old grandson (originally thought it would be a great experience for my grandson) turned out it was fun and memorable experience for all 3 of us. Do yourself a favour and visit these guys, they were so friendly and knowledgeable and made our time there truly memorable.

Cool 😎 - I learned some amazing skills that the Shinobi used. Double check to see what age ranges you will be with. It turned out fine but I was with two families who had a lot of kids with them. For reference I'm in my 30s. Other than that it was really cool and the staff is awesome.

Best date ever - This is an absolute must visit. Worth every penny, I would score it 12/10 if I could and it would not be enough. The team is absolutely amazing and made the session what it was. My wife had a blast, and can’t stop talking about how much fun she had. Keep it up!

Wow experience - One of the best experiences for my 7year old who celebrated her birthday in Japan. Her eyes were sparkling throughout the session. The instructors very well managed the expectations of the children during the session and made sure they participated in all the activities. They were professionals and held the Japanese culture of politeness and humbleness... The overall experience was worth the price. This place was 'Authentic'.. Absolutely recommend to all the Ninja Kids and Adults...
