Why You Should Visit

A stage show marking 350 years since the Bansenshukai, the great compendium of Iga and Koka ninja techniques, was compiled, and the 6th anniversary of the Koka Real Ninja Museum. Comedy sketches, manzai, kodan storytelling, rakugo and a ninja shinkigeki comedy play, all newly written ninja-themed pieces for this event, run through the afternoon at the multipurpose hall of the Koka Real Ninja Museum in Konan, Koka. Admission is free. A good fit if you want a lighter, laugh-filled take on ninja history in the home of the Koka ninja.
