  • There remains a building in Kyoto that was originally used by samurai as a hotel. You can ask the current landlord to show you around inside. However, if you go a little deeper, you will be surprised by multiple devices like a ninja house.

      *Meanwhile in night*
      Carefully sneaking inside a Shiro, as the intruder takes off his shoes and walks in through the doors..
      Takes a Single step on the Wooden Floors
      *LOUDLY CREAKS*
      The intruder looks at the guests and samurai.. there all still asleep...
      He takes another step...
      *LOUD CREAKS*
      Everyone is Still Asleep...
      A little bit of dust goes over the Intruders nose...

    The original Ninja House, or Ninja Museum of Iga-ryu, is located in Iga, Mie Prefecture. The layout is very similar. The best time to visit is on February 22, Japan's official Ninja Day ( as the date 2-22, or "ni ni ni" in Japanese, is phonetically similarly to the first syllable in "ninja").

I visited Nijo Castle on a very special trip to Japan with my daughter, as well as many other beautiful places in Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara. We talk about that visit with great enthusiasm and fondness. I will always be in debt to Minami san, Hiro and Mitsu who planned our trip of a lifetime. I love Japan so much and always feel at home there, having visited it for work about 30 times. I long to return
