Kyoto: Ninja Sanctuary | Experience Ninja Costumes & Weapons

Great place we had fun. It is a small shop startup that is ambitious and fun. I feel over time this will only get better but it was a great picture and fun moment to see yourself as a true ninja.

it was an amazing experience! It was just me and the instructor, so I got to learn at my own pace and ask lots of questions. He was incredibly friendly, patient, and made the whole class both fun and engaging.

Our family (with an 11‑year‑old and a 17‑year‑old) absolutely loved our visit to the Kyoto Ninja Sanctuary. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, funny, and brilliant at engaging both kids and teens. The experience strikes a perfect balance between authentic ninja history and hands‑on fun, so everyone stays involved.

This ninja experience was so much fun from the moment we walked in. The hidden rotating door at the entrance was a great surprise and immediately made us feel like we had entered a real ninja hideout. Wearing the ninja costume made me feel like I had stepped into the world of Naruto. Throwing real shuriken, just like I had seen on TV, was especially exciting. It had always been one of the things I wanted to do in Japan, so it felt great to finally check it off my list. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun and memorable activity.

I had such an immersive experience, and I even got to wear a cosplay costume! The interior was incredibly cool—I posted it on Instagram and received lots of comments from my friends. The shuriken throwing and blowgun experiences were especially addictive; watching them hit the target was so satisfying! The staff were also very kind and explained a lot about ninjas, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

the experience we had for ninja and all trainings were amazing. we had fun time out there with boys! thank you Sojo!

Experience: The master is so good. Location: Very convenient, close to the tram station. Equipment: The ninja tools are really cool.

Sojo was amazing very fun and hospitable! this is a great start up and lots of fun for family and friends. wish it was longer with a bit more to do but still loved every bit! would recommend and definitely do again.

such a fun experience for the family! we are now trained ninjas and will bring our skills back to Canada!

This was the best experience, my kids loved it. great for the big kids too! our Ninja instructor So Jo was amazing. highly recommend this experience.
