Ninja Adventure in Imai-cho as a Real-Life Time-Slip!

"Time-traveling to the ninja era in Imai-cho! It’s like the real-life Hidden Leaf Village. Who's ready for a mission?"

Hello! I'm a staff member from the Japanese cultural experience site, LUKES.

Today, I’d like to share a heartwarming report on the 'Ninja Costume Experience' enjoyed by our recent guests. They visited Imai-cho with their friends and truly made the most of their time here.

Walking through the preserved streets of Imai-cho in full ninja gear, they looked as if they had stepped straight into the Hidden Leaf Village from NARUTO! With the historical atmosphere of Imai-cho as their backdrop, it was like a real-life time-slip to the ninja era.

Hearing that this activity became a highlight of their trip and a wonderful memory with friends makes all of us on the staff truly happy. We are so grateful to have been a part of their journey and to help them create such special moments.

We look forward to welcoming more 'shinobi' to this beautiful historical town soon!

From Meeting to the Start of the Experience

Meeting place and time: Yamato-Yagi Station (1:00 p.m.) 

Experience location: Imai-cho, a charming historic town 

We met guests who were visiting Nara for the first time at Yamato-Yagi Station.

As we walked together through the nostalgic streets, we arrived in Imai-cho.

"Ninja Training" in a Historic Town 

All the guests transformed into ninjas in Imai-cho.

After putting on their costumes, they enjoyed taking many commemorative photos amid the historic and picturesque scenery.

It was enjoyable to see them strike their own "ninja poses!" 

The charm of this experience is that groups of friends can fully immerse themselves and feel like characters from a movie or Japanese anime. 

The Guests' Big Smiles and Their Words of Joy

They were very pleased with the experience.

We received these heartwarming words from the guests: 

"We came to Nara especially for the ninja experience, and it was truly worth the trip to see how happy we were." 

Helping create special memories for visiting guests—and hearing that they were satisfied with our service—is the greatest joy for our staff.

From now on, all of us will continue doing our best to ensure that everyone can create happy memories through Japanese cultural experiences.

Please consider enjoying a ninja experience in Imai-cho!
