Nestled in the serene mountains of Nagano Prefecture, the Togakushi Ninja Museum is an unmissable destination for anyone intrigued by the mystique of ninja culture. This family-friendly attraction is both entertaining and educational, offering a unique glimpse into Japan’s historical past while immersing visitors in hands-on experiences.

The village is designed like a ninja training ground, complete with obstacle courses, a shuriken (ninja star) throwing range, and interactive exhibits that showcase the skills and ingenuity of these shadowy figures from history. Children and adults alike will enjoy the challenge of navigating through the Ninja Karakuri Mansion, a trick house filled with secret doors and hidden pathways—a perfect blend of fun and intrigue.

One of the highlights of the Togakushi Ninja Museum is that it is housed in a restored Edo-period granary and showcases around 2,000 items reflecting the traditional climate and lifestyle of Togakushi. Previously located in a wealthy farmer's zelkova house, the museum features 500 ninja tools, 200 photo panels detailing the Togakure school's techniques, and other ninja-related artifacts.

For those eager to dive deeper into the ninja experience, the village also offers ninja attire rentals, allowing visitors to channel their inner ninja while exploring the grounds.
