Ninja Museum of Igaryu

The Ninja Museum of Igaryu houses over 400 authentic ninja tools and weapons, including shuriken, kusarigama, and ancient ninjutsu manuscripts in its collection.

Founded by Heishichirō Okuse in 1964, this institution preserves the heritage of Iga ninja who specialized in intelligence gathering during the Warring States period.

Female ninja guides called kuno lead visitors through a traditional ninja house equipped with traps, secret passages, and concealed weapon storage compartments.

The museum operates from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays, 4:30 PM on weekends, offering guided tours and weapon throwing sessions for additional fees.

In August 2020, thieves managed to break into this fortress of ninja knowledge and steal a safe containing over one million yen in admission fees.
