Ninja's Hometown Electric Biking Private Tour, Short Course

We will use electric bicycles for transportation. Participants must be good at riding bicycles. There are only adult-size bicycles. For sudden showers, we recommend you to bring rain gears.

This tour involves walking in the woods, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes.

More detailed tour itinerary information is as follows.

First, we will visit the Koka Ninja House, which is the only existing real one with many tricks inside such as revolving door, hidden second floor, escape tunnel, too heavy sliding door, etc. You can throw Shuriken there if you want.

Then, to Ninja Center, which is a local government’s Ninja PR facility. There are many Ninja tools displayed inside.

For lunch, we will go to Konan highway rest area, which has a Ninja-themed restaurant with many selections of dishes. The view from there is just gorgeous, and there is a nice souvenir shop too.

After that, you will be invited to the guide’s house, which is a traditional Japanese house. We will make coffee by using the method of Ninja’s medicine making. While enjoying coffee, the guide's wife will write your name in Japanese Katakana characters on Ninja’s roll paper for your souvenir.

Then, we will walk to the Mochizuki Twin Castles. The place looks like hilly woods, however there are twin castles hidden. They are very important historical medieval castles. The Mochizuki clans, including the guide’s ancestors, built them more than 450 years ago.

After that, we will go to Singu shrine and its gate. It was the local Ninja’s assembly place, and the gate is listed as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.

Then, we will ride through the Cherry tree street of the river bank. You’ll enjoy the beautiful and comfortable street while cycling.

We will get back to JR Konan station by 2:10 p.m. Train departs at 2:15 p.m.

On a rainy day, I have an alternative plan. I can facilitate tours not only on sunny days but also on rainy days.
