Activity itinerary

Iga-ryu Ninja Museum
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Iga, located in the middle of the mountain area reached an hour from Kyoto by car, is a historical city known to be the home of Iga-Ryu (style) Ninjas. This museum is truly authentic, built by a real ninja master of the Iga clan, so the traditional Japanese rooms you enter, which seem normal, are installed full of tricks and gimmicks to fight against invaders. Secret flipping doors, hidden sword shelters, and hidden paths between rooms, all of them you can use and actually experience them like ninjas and learn how they fought are not only entertaining to all the kids but very practical and wisely thought to fight against the enemies. The museum also displays many weapons, armour and cultural things which real ninjas of the Iga clan used. *1 hour transfer from Kyoto included
Ishitera Tea Plantation
  • 40m
Often introduced as "The Most Beautiful Village of Japan" or "Green Tea Fields to the Heaven". Wide areas of Kyoto's Uji are known for the production of the best green tea brands in Japan as well as its first invention of "Matcha". You might wonder what's green teas related to ninjas, but ninjas were originally the farmers around this area. Ninjas used to farm in the morning and train in the afternoon in the mountains around here so they were very knowledgeable even in tea ceremonies used for diplomacy at that time. It's very reasonable that they were so good at making potions and poisons out of mountain herbs, which skill also made it easier to convert themselves to pharmacies after the warring age. *30 minutes transfer by car included
Iga Ueno Castle
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Iga Ueno Castle is a beautiful castle located on the top of a hill in the centre of Ueno City. This castle was originally built in 1585, the peak of the Japanese warring age, to be a fort-castle of Osaka Castle, after the original building, the guild house of Iga Ninjas, got burnt and destroyed by Shogun Oda. Even though it's a replica of the original one destroyed in the war, its fully wooden construction of the Japanese tradition brings tourists a time-slipping feel. Besides, its atmospheric wooden inside is a museum displaying many Samurai armour and weapons used by real Samurai Shoguns in wars.
宇治田原の大滝
  • 50m
We go through a real historical path known as "The Great Escape over Iga of Ieyasu (Tokugawa)" in primeval forest areas of Kyoto's beautiful countryside, Ujitawara. Visit a super-spiritual waterfall with a shrine located in a stunning Japanese cedar forest worshiped and used for training by ninjas
Shogunzuka Seiryuden Temple
  • 10m
Shogunzuka (Mound of Shogun), is located on the behind mountains of Gion, Kyoto's no.1 view spot to see the whole Kyoto city Nowadays, it's popular among local young Japanese couples, but historically, here has been a very important spot worshiped by Shoguns and the emperors
