Ninja Experience in Osaka's Shinsekai District | Workshop with Costume Rental, Shuriken Throwing & VR

Learn Ninja Arts and Shuriken Throwing in Osaka's Authentic Ninja Dojo

This experience takes place at an Osaka ninja dojo where you'll rent a ninja costume and participate in an approximately one-hour workshop.

Professional instructors will teach you ninja combat techniques, weapon handling, and even meditation practices. The workshop includes hands-on training in shuriken throwing—the most iconic ninja weapon—with plenty of opportunity to practice and refine your technique.

Costume Sizes Available from Children to Extra-Large Adults

Ninja costumes are available in a wide range of sizes, from 90cm height for children up to 2 meters or taller, including 3L and 4L sizes. This inclusive sizing means that participants of virtually any body type can enjoy the experience without limitations—a practical advantage for families and international visitors alike.

Once you've changed into your black ninja costume, you can strike dramatic ninja poses for professional photographs. The dojo provides professional lighting for your photo session.

Battle Samurai Cavalry in a VR Experience Featuring Sanada Yukimura

After the workshop, you'll put on a VR headset and engage in a battle against samurai cavalry. This experience is recommended for ages 7 and up.

The scenario features the legendary warlord Sanada Yukimura—often called Japan's greatest warrior—facing off against a cavalry unit. This Osaka dojo is unique in combining ninja culture with cutting-edge VR technology. After your battle, you can take a commemorative photo with the dojo's exclusive weapons.

Self-Guided Exploration of Shinsekai in Full Ninja Attire

Select the self-guided plan to explore the historic Shinsekai district in your ninja costume for approximately one hour. This vibrant area, famous for the iconic Tsutenkaku Tower, is one of Osaka's premier tourist destinations—and you'll experience it as a ninja.

During your walk, alcoholic beverages, food, tobacco, and smoking are not permitted. Plan this time primarily as a photography and sightseeing experience.

Duration: 40 Minutes to 2 Hours, Meeting On-Site

Duration varies from 40 minutes to 2 hours depending on which plan you select. You'll meet at the venue, making it easy to fit into a busy Osaka sightseeing itinerary.
