[Become the ninja you've always dreamed of!]
[First, take a photo in a ninja pose] First, we ask the customer to change into a jet black ninja outfit. Black is a special color for ninjas to blend in the darkness of the night. Just by wearing a ninja outfit, you are already a ninja no matter how you look at it. Be sure to take a ninja pose in that cool outfit and take lots of photos!
[How many targets can you stab?] The first ninja training is throwing shuriken. You know what a shuriken is, right? It is a distinctive weapon used by ninjas, and some people may have dreamed of throwing a shuriken. The shuriken you will be given is a genuine iron shuriken. A ninja staff member will teach you how to hold and throw the shuriken, so listen carefully to the explanation and try throwing it yourself. You will feel a wonderful sense of exhilaration when you stab your shuriken in the center of a wooden target with a circle drawn on it!
[Everyone will be captivated by the fun of blowguns] The next ninja training is blowguns. In the past, ninjas would hide in the shadows and attack their enemies with poisoned blowguns. Unlike shuriken, it does not require much strength, so children can quickly become good at it. Let's compete with everyone to see who can hit the target from the farthest! Who is the blowgun master?
[Let's all take a photo with swords and become a proper ninja clan] The final ninja training is with a ninja sword. Here, we will give you a replica sword and teach you some basic ways to handle it. At first, it's hard to even take the sword out of its sheath... But once you've mastered the whole series of movements perfectly, there's no better moment to take a video!
[Special cuisine to entertain] We also have special ninja cuisine and drinks, perfect for lunch or dinner. Guests can enjoy not only their tongues but all five senses with dishes such as shuriken-shaped curry and the ninja trick of the Katon Fondant au Chocolat.
[We recommend using the revolving doors to take funny videos] There are also fun gimmicks like a ninja house, and there are photo spots everywhere. If you take a photo in a ninja outfit, you'll feel like you're in a movie. Please don't be shy and take a variety of photos and videos. Create great memories of enjoying Japanese culture to the fullest and keep them in your records.
[We are waiting for your challenge!] The cast of the Ninja Sentai is looking forward to your visit. Master the cool ninja moves as if you were the main character in a manga or anime, and show off to your friends and family!
