Ninja - Amazing. The professionalism and warm welcome they had for me as a new comer and foreigner made me feel right at home. Very skilled and understanding. Where else can you train in the forbidden "ninja arts" than from an expert! Highly recommend this team!

Our first Ninja Experience - What a great experience. We enjoyed everything and had such a wonderful time. Our instructor was patient and showed us so much in the hour that it felt like we had to have gone into overtime.

Fantastic Ninja Experience in Kyoto! - This was one of the most unique and fun experiences we had in Kyoto! The instructor was very knowledgeable and made the session both educational and engaging. We practiced stealth techniques, blow darts and even got to throw shuriken (ninja stars) under expert guidance. The dojo setting added to the authenticity, making us feel like real ninjas for the day. Whether you’re a martial arts enthusiast or just looking for something different, this is a must-try easily accessible experience. Highly recommended!

Ninja experience - We all had the best time! We got to experience the way of the ninja learning the history, lifestyle, fighting and stealth techniques using different weapons and methods. The instructor was hilarious and kept us engaged and excited for the next steps ! I could not recommend this enough if you’re visiting Kyoto !

A perfectly respectful and fun/ny time. - Izo and Hanoi were such great instructors and performers! We all have a tiny bit of martial arts experience from taking classes as kids, so we probably showed up with too much seriousness haha. But, still, the experience was the perfect blend of education, training, and humor. We had a complete blast! So cool to be able to explore different weapons and learn history as part of the dojo experience too. Thanks you guys! We would gladly recommend or come back to keep learning.
