About this spot
Set in the rich natural surroundings of Shiga Prefecture, Koka no Sato Ninjutsu Mura is an authentic hands-on facility where you can experience the lives and wisdom of ninja of the past. The village features the relocated "Karakuri Yashiki" (trick house), the former residence of the Fujibayashi family, real Koka ninja, packed with hidden doors, secret passages, and revolving walls. You are sure to be amazed by the ninja's ingenuity. At the Koka Ninjutsu Museum, you can see the secret ninjutsu manual "Bansenshukai" and genuine ninja tools, a delight even for history lovers. For those who want something active, we recommend trying shuriken throwing at the shuriken dojo. Ninja costumes are also available for rent, so be sure to transform with family or friends and stroll around the village, enjoying the out-of-the-ordinary setting. Whether you want to quietly soak up history on a solo trip or have a lively time with family and friends, this is an experience spot that captivates children and adults alike and is a must on any Shiga itinerary.
