Close to the political center Kyoto, yet distinctly remote due to their rugged terrains, Iga and Koka presented an ideal hideout location for refugees, bandits and losing parties of battles. Many ninja families lived here within autonomously governed communities, developing their martial skills for self defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thienxuantravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Nikko-Edomura-Edo-Wonderland-Photo-by-Phxkch-on-Unsplash-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17241\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nikko Edomura (Edo Wonderland) Photo by Phxkch on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-tr\u1ea3i-nghi\u1ec7m-nh\u1eefng-ho\u1ea1t-d\u1ed9ng-bi-\u1ea9n-t\u1ea1i-lang-ninja\">Where to appreciate the ninja today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best places to appreciate the ninja today are Iga and Koka, the traditional heartlands of the ninja, and Togakushi in Nagano, home of the Togakure school of ninja. These respective regions offer some actual buildings used by the ninja in the past and\/or museums which house previously used tools and weapons, thus retaining some level of authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-b\u1ea1n-co-t\u1ed1-ch\u1ea5t-d\u1ec3-tr\u1edf-thanh-ninja\">Iga Ueno, Koka Ninja Village and more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other ninja attractions include those found at theme parks and tend to be less authentic. Ninja scenarios are recreated and ninja shows are staged according to popular conceptions for entertainment. Ninja mansions are a feature at many of them. They are houses built with trapdoors and secret passages, forming mazes which visitors have to find their way through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.japan-guide.com\/g20\/2295_03.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Koka Ninja Village<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-hay-cung-th\u1eed-l\u1ecbch-trinh-hu\u1ea5n-luy\u1ec7n-hang-ngay-c\u1ee7a-cac-gia-t\u1ed9c-ninja-tr\u01b0\u1eddng-koka\">These were the heydays of the ninja<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the age of the warring states in the XV and XVI centuries, many warlords would hire the ninja of Iga and Koka as mercenaries for their set of unique skills in facilitating the conquest of castles and victories in battles. These were the heydays of the ninja. Once peace was established in the XVII century, the ninja were mainly employed by the Tokugawa Shogunate to spy on the various regional lords and to guard Edo Castle. During these times, the ninja became greatly romanticized in popular culture, such as kabuki, which led to inaccuracies in the common perception of them. The stereotypes were subsequently exported to the West and further developed to entertain audiences there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thienxuantravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Edo-Wonderland-Nikko-Edomura-the-samurai-era-in-town-and-country-The-Japan-Times-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17256\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.japantimes.co.jp\/life\/2016\/08\/06\/environment\/edo-wonderland-nikko-edomura-samurai-era-town-country\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura: the samurai era in town and country &#8211; The Japan Times<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thienxuantravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/i0401-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17232\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shinobinosato.com\/en\/course\/course1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Course to encounter the art of the ninja in Iga and Koka | Shinobi-no-Sato Iga and Koka<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thienxuantravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Koka-Ninjutsu-Museum-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17233\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Koka Ninjutsu Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thienxuantravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Muryojufuku-ji-Temple-2-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17236\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Muryojufuku-ji Temple, military base for the ninja during the hard-fought Tensho Iga War<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thienxuantravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Toei-Uzumasa-Eigamura-2-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17238\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Toei_Kyoto_Studio_Park\">Toei Kyoto Studio Park<\/a><\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Uky%C5%8D-ku,_Kyoto\">Uky\u014d-ku<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Kyoto\">Kyoto<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Kyoto_Prefecture\">Kyoto Prefecture<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Japan\">Japan<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thienxuantravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Toei-Uzumasa-Eigamura-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17239\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Toei Uzumasa Eigamura | Film set and theme park in one, the Eigamura features a collection of replicas of traditional Japanese buildings.
