Secret Agent Training: Alternative Attractions – Japan’s Top Five Ninja Hidden Spots
By MOOK Scenic Spots Jun(e), compiled and reported
Speaking of Japan’s cultural highlights, one of the most iconic is the ninja. Though often exaggerated in manga and movies, leading many to doubt their fantastical abilities like flying and vanishing, ninjas were indeed real figures in Japanese history. This time, we especially recommend Japan’s ninja-themed attractions to travelers. Each temple and village is filled with ninja culture props and decorations, making them quite unique and recommended as experiential destinations.
