Sharpen Your Senses! A Thrilling Intro to Ninja Basics

When people think of ninjas, they often picture shuriken (throwing stars), blow darts, and katana swords. At Ninja Experience Café Takayama, you can try out these legendary techniques for yourself!

Feel the satisfying thunk as you throw real metal shuriken at a target—a sound that many visitors find addictively fun. Staff are on hand to teach you the proper stance and throwing technique, so beginners can enjoy it safely and confidently.

The blow dart challenge is all about focus: steady your breath, lock on to your target, and release! The tension and precision required make it fun for kids and adults alike, with many people getting completely hooked.

In the sword experience, you’ll perform a full sequence from stance to slash using a replica katana. Though it’s not a real blade, the weight and feel are incredibly immersive, giving you a sense of intensity rarely experienced in everyday life.

These hands-on ninja training experiences are perfect for kids and adults and make for a memorable addition to your Takayama trip. Why not take your first step into the world of ninja through these three exciting activities?

Tradition Meets Tech: Ninja Sword Training and Immersive VR Action

Take your ninja journey further with two special courses:

  • “Sword Kata”, where you learn real katana postures from a ninja master
  • “VR Ninja Game”, a virtual reality adventure that brings the world of ninjas to life

In the Sword Kata session, you’ll practice drawing, stance, and cutting techniques. Using a replica katana, you’ll feel the tension of the moment where calm shifts to action. The swords are surprisingly heavy, demanding good posture, focus, and balance—a true test of “mind, technique, and body.”

Put on a VR headset in the VR Ninja Game, and suddenly you’re in a ninja world! Enemies will throw shuriken at you, and you must dodge using your whole body. It’s a thrilling experience for both the player and those watching.

This immersive fusion of ancient tradition and cutting-edge technology offers a unique, one-of-a-kind ninja experience you can’t find anywhere else.

Transform into a Ninja! Strike a Pose for a Photogenic Experience

No ninja transformation is complete without the proper attire.

At Ninja Experience Café Takayama, you can rent authentic ninja costumes suitable for all ages and genders. The moment you slip into the outfit, your ninja journey begins.

Costumes are available for kids and adults, so the whole family can become a “ninja clan” together!

The facility features dedicated photo spots where you can strike all sorts of poses—throwing shuriken, drawing swords, climbing walls—you name it! Staff can assist with posing and photography tips, so you’ll end up with ninja photos that look professional, even with just a smartphone.

Lose yourself in the immersive ninja world and create unforgettable memories—many adults find themselves getting just as excited as the kids. Don’t miss your chance to capture that perfect ninja shot!

Ninja Cuisine!? Delicious and Entertaining “Ninja-Meshi” Food Experience

More than just an experience spot, Ninja Experience Café Takayama is also a great place to eat, relax, and recharge. Whether you’re taking a break between experiences or visiting just for the food, the café is open to all.

One of the highlights is the creative ninja-themed menu.
The “Fire Release Pudding” is a must-try: a frozen pudding sauce that’s finished tableside with real fire! It’s as exciting to watch as it is delicious—especially when paired with vanilla ice cream.

Other fun and photogenic treats include the “Churros Sword”, “Ninja Ale”, and more. For those wanting a full meal, there’s the “Shuriken Toast” and hearty “Ninja Udon”.

This isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a multi-sensory ninja dining experience. Every dish is designed to reflect the world of ninjas, stimulating your senses and imagination. Why not enjoy a relaxing “ninja break” with some unique and unforgettable flavors?
