Iga-ryu Ninja Museum

When coming to Japan you will have to visit the Ninjas. Since I was a kid I could only dream of coming to Japan and learning from the ninjas and now that dream has come true. Visiting the city of Iga is far but worth the trip. I learned so much more about ninjas and how they lived and unique ways they held and hid weapons. They also have English translation for each display so you can read about the artifacts. They have a ninja show which is good for the family they do let you throw darts after the show which is cool.

Interesting museum to learn about Iga ninja. Exhibits, videos and demonstrations provide insights into the forgotten era. Enhanced experience as we get to walk into a real ninja house. The staff are passionate in demonstrating the various tricks used in ancient times. We thoroughly enjoy our short visit.

Very interesting if you want to know more about back info of ninja, and the guide was good at showing the samples of ninja house. Worthwhile if you wanna look beyond Naruto. Unlucky that I missed the ninja show at 11:30 and 1:30 today.

Closest experience to authentic ninja heritage. Nice display of traditional ninja clothing and weapons from the old day. Good show performance with high passionate ninja staffs. My kid loves this place very much.

Ninja show was really good, even if you don't speak a word of Japanese. Many hand actions are used to explain the weapons and jokes. Very recommended, would definitely watch again.

Slight note, the place might look rather empty, but the show was almost full, even on a weekday.

The show was entertaining, with both comedic and historical elements. It's presented largely in japanese but is easily understandable based off the ninjas body language. It was 500yen per person and my kids enjoyed it too.

The museum and trap house we're also interesting to see. It was great to see the trap house first, seeing traps in person, then going through the museum to understand them more, in addition to ninja tools, and watching a video of the traps in action.

Overall, a great day for the family to experience.

Very kid friendly! Make sure to attend the live show. It costs extra but is a lot of fun. No English, but still great to watch.

The whole place is very geared towards teaching you what ninja were really like.

It was neat to see. We stayed for the show and the ninja house tour.

Very interesting place, my boy really enjoyed the ninja show and the tricks.

Educational and very impressive architecture... suits every age to visit and this is the place that we may understand both culture and lifestyle of ninja. This living museum consider huge and accommodate with great facilities around it. Suitable for a big group to plan an event or company trip tour as there's so much of attractions and information to enjoy here. Complete staff with traditional costumes made this living museum are more precious and worth visiting.. one of the best attractions in Japan

An interesting museum of ninja, also with ninja show, unfortunately that day got canceled because the bad weather condition, the ninja house tricks is really interesting and cool, you can try secret door and other tricks, Shuriken are so cool, it was a little heavier, I didn't expect it. With good weather is a nice place to spend time, the staff and the ninja guy were very kind and friendly.

Though short, this visit was excellent! It costs about 750¥ per adult for entry to the museum. You start by going through a house that had been designed to show you what a ninja's home might have looked like. The trap doors and hidden compartments were really cool. They have pull down posters in English at each stop they make so you can understand what's going on. That being said, because they are demonstrating, the posters weren't really necessary. Still, cool to have information. Then there is a small walkthrough museum containing information about ninjas. Almost everything had English information panels. There is a sizeable shuriken (ninja star) display here as well which was cool. After that, you can chose to watch the ninja demo show. This is an extra 400¥. I *highly* recommend it. Be sure to check the website for times as they don't run them every day. The show is mainly in Japanese, though they have select parts in English. Again, you don't necessarily need to understand to appreciate it because they demo the weapons so you're seeing it. The show lasts about 25 minutes. After the show, for an extra 200¥, I was able to try throwing shuriken. The guide (one of the men from the ninja show) was extremely patient and guided me through it. I even managed to get one to stick in the wall! From start to finish, the experience lasted about an hour. I really enjoyed it and would recommend to others!

Ninja is real! The small castle is beautiful.

Good exposure for first timer who travelling to Japan.

It is far, but intersting place with scheduled shows.
You must buy paper ticket for trains. IC card is not accepted.

The reason I came here is my favorite film, ninja hatori. unfortunately i don't have enough money to wear wardrobe as ninja. Mendaki gunung lewati lembah, sungai mengalir indah ke lautan. bersama teman bertualang. xixixiixix

VERY INTERESTING PLACE TO LEARN ABOUT NINJA! I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE BEST PLACE ABOUT NINJA!
Don't miss the ninja show/stage because it was really funny, hilarious, yet very cool ninja show!

If you're a Naruto anime fan, then you will really enjoy this enjoy this place. Going to this place allows you to have tour around a museum and witness a ninja show. Inside the museum, you will get to be informed and enlightened of the clothes, weapons, beliefs, language, practices and daily lives of the ninjas. While for the show, everyone will definitely enjoy the fun and interactive njnja acts and skills that they had prepared.

Definitely worth the trip if you have a free day while in Japan. Accessible via trains and buses if you don't have a car.

Very cool displays. I enjoyed the tour around the ninja house and the performance was hilarious and entertaining. Would come again!
