Oshino Shinobi no Sato, Ninja theme park in Oshino, Japan.
Oshino Shinobi no Sato is a theme park with multiple buildings dedicated to ninja training, performances, and traditional Japanese gardens near Mount Fuji. The complex includes a dojo area for shuriken throwing, a Karakuri House with maze sections, and exhibition areas displaying historical techniques and equipment.
The park was founded in 2015 to make historical ninja techniques accessible and keep knowledge of this profession alive for today's visitors. It focuses on preserving practical skills and training methods that might otherwise have been lost.
The demonstrations here showcase combat techniques and weapon handling methods that were historically practiced in Japan, allowing visitors to see these skills in action. These performances give a sense of how this traditional craft actually worked in daily practice.
Visitors can rent ninja costumes and attempt shuriken throwing in the dojo area, with basic instruction provided. Expect to spend several hours exploring all buildings and maze sections, and arriving early allows more time to try different activities.
Children who complete the specialized training program receive an official certificate, taking home a tangible reminder of their accomplishment. This certificate reflects genuine engagement and acquired skills rather than being merely decorative.
