Description
Step into the world of the Shinobi at the Ninja Experience Cafe Tokyo Harajuku, located just a short walk from Takeshita Street and close to Meiji Shrine.
After enjoying street food, shopping, and the colorful energy of Harajuku — or after visiting the peaceful grounds of Meiji Shrine — take a fun indoor break where kids and adults can do more than just walk around. Takeshita Street can be exciting and busy, so adding a hands-on experience nearby is a great way to relax, reset, and feel like a character from your favorite manga.
Put on a ninja costume and try three classic ninja training activities: shuriken throwing, blowgun practice, and katana-style sword training. Friendly ninja instructors will guide you step by step using safe training gear — from throwing stars to training kunai — so children, families, and first-time guests can enjoy the experience with confidence.
Move, pose, laugh, and feel like the star of your own ninja story. Throughout the experience, our staff will be happy to help you capture photos and videos of your best ninja moments.
Guests who are not participating in the training are welcome to observe, take photos, and enjoy food and drinks at the cafe. The experience takes place indoors, making it a comfortable activity on hot, cold, or rainy days.
