The landmark is the full-size Azuchi Castle, which can be seen on the mountain in the distance as you enter Ise City. Currently, only the exterior can be visited, and the cityscape of Ninja Kingdom Ise is said to be a reproduction of the castle town of Azuchi Castle!

Let's enter now!

Mission Complete?
Enjoy the Real World RPG!

Check the mission at the informant!

Once you enter the facility, you will be transported back in time to the Edo period.

First, go to the information store and the kunoichi will give you an overview of "Real RPG". Real RPG is a game in which you become the main character of the story and rescue your younger sister, “Itsu”. Talk to the residents of Ninja Kingdom Ise "townies," get information, solve mysteries, accumulate experience points, raise your level, and aim to clear the mission!

At first, I was a little nervous about talking to them, but the townspeople smiled and chatted with me, so it was okay. After listening to the information, they will cheer you up saying, "Good luck!"

If you challenge the battle, your experience points will increase and you will be closer to leveling up. If you change into a ninja costume, you'll feel like you're in the story, so you can enjoy the world of a real RPG!

No.1 Theme Park with Delicious Foods

100% Matsusaka beef black curry 1,500 yen

Kumano Jidori Ramen delivered directly from Kumano city, Mie prefecture 1,200 yen

Ninja Kingdom Ise 's meals are characterized by their strict attention to ingredients, including carefully selected ingredients, no frozen ingredients, and no chemical seasonings. In 2019, it was selected as the "No. 1 Theme Park with Delicious Foods".

The 100% Matsusaka beef black curry is not spicy, and is suitable for children of elementary school age and older. In addition, the Kumano Jidori Ramen has a thick soup and chewy thin noodles.

If you eat and experience various games, your experience points will increase and your level will increase. Let's aim for "mission complete" by asking questions and challenging battles! By the way, I failed to solve the mystery after this, so next time I want to start over and help rescue "Itsu"!

Training to Become Ninja!​
Plenty of Hands-on Play!

Bow and arrow, shuriken, and sorcery!

Challenge the bow and arrow! It takes a little effort, but even amateurs can enjoy it!

Shuriken is a game that even small children can enjoy. There are various types of shuriken, and you aim at the demon's target with a score written on it. The prizes you get will differ depending on your total points, so let's aim for the prize you want!

The ground, the ceiling, the walls, everything is distorted "Iga ninja sorcery mansion". If you take a step, you will be dizzy because you can't go in the direction you want to go. It's a hands-on activity where both adults and children can practice ninja, as it will make you feel like you've been enchanted!

The second level is also full of activities!

To go up to the second level, the red gate is the landmark!

When you go up to the second floor, you can see the "Nishi no Yashiki (The West Mansion)". Beyond this point is a maze that can only be experienced on weekdays.

Since spoilers are prohibited, I could only take pictures of the entrance, but there are many mazes such as karakuri fusuma (tricking door), mirrors, and gold folding screens, and I was deceived many times and had a hard time finding the exit. From the sense of accomplishment that I was able to escape, I felt that I could become a ninja!

Challenge darts and Iai-giri!

Challenge darts! The correct stance for ninja-style darts is to stand perpendicular to the target and half-body in order to exchange attacks with the opponent. I was standing parallel, so I looked like an attack target.  I set my sights on the small red circle in number 4 because it was the 1st prize, but the result was disappointing.

I also tried Iai-giri (Iai Swordsmanship)! Pull out your sword and hit the ball that comes out of the dragon's mouth. The trick to Iai-giri is to pull out the sword while pulling the scabbard with your left hand. There are various sizes of swords available, so even small children can experience it.

Challenge the Ninja Forest Adventure!

"Ninja Forest Adventure" has a total of 3 courses. If you have a Multi Passport, any single course is free. The writer will challenge the A course (19 courses with a height of about 5 meters)!

This is a course that even adults can fully enjoy while crossing logs and walking on a tightrope, using muscles that are not used on a daily basis. I'm not good at high places, but after finishing it, I feel like I want to do another course! This is an activity where you can fly and bounce in nature and become a ninja!

Enjoy the Powerful Play!

Great Ninja Theater

This is the "Great Ninja Theater" with a dynamic set. It is performed twice a day, and I watched the play "Hitoshizuku" that started in October. You will be drawn into the world of the story as you can see realistic performances that match the facial expressions and sounds, vivid swordsmanship and powerful action scenes right in front of you.

Yamada Magistrate's Office

After watching the play, if you're lucky, you might be able to take a picture with the actors!

"Yamada magistrate's office" where you can see the famous judgment of "Ooka Echizen". The highlight of this play is the inflection of the voices of the actors and the richness of their facial expressions. In addition to the high level of acting ability, it is a production with a live feeling that is close to the audience, so it is very worth seeing. From the moment the play began, the entire venue was filled with a warm mood, and it was a fascinating play with constant laughter from beginning to end.

One of the attractions of Ninja Kingdom Ise is that you can watch plays at various locations throughout the day. You can watch a full-fledged play, so you can spend a very luxurious time. After watching a play, you may run into actors in the castle town, so I think one way to enjoy it is to try and find your favorite actors.

Their names and nicknames also have a sense of humor, and you can't help but giggle.
