Unit tours, things to do and tickets

Enjoy a unique experience that's simply not possible by just watching on TV! Come face to face with Japanese culture that has been kept alive through many years, such as the presence of a referee which began in the Sengoku period (about 1467-1603), and the use of vivid 'kesho-mawashi' ceremonial aprons and the ring entering procession which have continued from the Edo period (1603-1868), on this tour guided by a National Government Licensed English Guide Interpreter knowledgeable about sumo wrestling. Watch sumo, Japan's national sport, from comfortable reserved B-class seating (chair seating). All tour participants will receive "The Sumo," a booklet about sumo (in English); and Banzuke-hyo, a table of rankings, as a gift! It has easy-to-understand explanations about the origins of sumo wrestling, match rules, reading the banzuke list, enjoying the ceremony, and more, so feel free to use it during the sumo viewing.

Our clan is the only remaining ninja clan whose ancestors served
the Tokugawa Shogunate for 265 years. and then in 1868 they became independent so they could continue to keep their identity as shinobi.
All of our ninja weapons have been handcrafted in the clan.

Not many know that there were two types of shinobi, namely, shinobi samurai and shinobinomono. Shinobi samurai were of samurai lineage, and they trained local people to work as shinobinomono. Our ancestors escorted Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1582, and that's when our clan history really started.

Licensed interpreter/trainer(s) provides top-notch, real time translation.
Our workshop is for those who want to know more than just have fun.
If you want to know the clan's mindsets, history and tradition, you need
a reliable interpreter/trainer with specialized knowledge.

In this hands-on ninja and samurai experience, the basic principles of
the Ninshido (shinobi samurai philosophy) are introduced in a dynamic
and mindful way.
