🥷 Walk in the Footsteps of Real Ninja: Discover Koka’s Hidden Legacy

While Iga may be the more famous ninja name, Koka is where ninja history truly lives and breathes. This tour takes you through the actual mountain paths and hidden training grounds once used by real Koka ninja — not a theme park, but the real thing.

• Experience making traditional “ninja survival rations” — a type of preserved food designed to fuel stealth missions.
• Trek through the actual mountain terrain where Koka ninja once trained, and learn basic ninjutsu (ninja skills) along the way.
• Discover hidden training grounds, immerse yourself in nature, and hear captivating stories of espionage, endurance, and wisdom.
• Enjoy a locally prepared lunch and connect with the warm hospitality of the Koka region.
• Conclude the day with a peaceful break at a quiet countryside hot spring inn, where you can enjoy a soothing bath and reflect on your journey.

• Fans of Japanese history, martial arts, or adventure
• Families or couples looking for an unforgettable side trip from Kyoto or Osaka
