Why don't you make a one-day trip from Kyoto to Ninja's hometown Koka City?

Koka City is home of Ninja.
Koka is a quiet, peaceful and beautiful rural town, and the best to go with a bicycle.
You will feel the atmosphere of Ninja while riding through the heartland of Ninja.

We will visit all three Ninja facilities of Koka, and learn the Ninja's history and their way of life.
You will find many Ninja tools, weapons, devices and the tricks that Ninja developed.

And also, we will visit one of the real Twin Castles that Ninja used.

There is no tour to visit real Ninja places guided by a Ninja/local Samurai descendant who can speak English.
You can experience a very unique tour from this.

Meet up at JR Konan station in Koka City at 9:35am.

Koka Ninja House
—The only existing real Ninja House with many tricks inside such as revolving door, hidden second floor, escape tunnel, too heavy sliding door, etc. You can throw Shuriken there if you want.

Tour ends at JR Koka station.

On Mondays, Ninja Village and Ninja Centre are closed. So if you book this tour on Monday, I will customise this tour for you.

On a rainy day, I have an alternative plan.

The itinerary can be customised according to your preference and the weather condition.
