Ninja Training in Traditional Townhouses of Sakai City

This hidden gem, even hard to find on Google Maps, is actually a ninja training ground passed down from the Edo period! At the 'Hamono DOKORO' nestled in the townhouses district, we donned miniature ninja outfits and learned the 'Soy Sauce Barrel Stealth Technique' from the eighth-generation master. The giant wooden barrels in the brewing area serve as natural obstacle courses. The most thrilling part is the 'Shuriken Math Class,' where kids have to calculate wind angles to accurately hit the rice dumpling targets with throwing stars. Successful participants can exchange for hidden knife-shaped ice cream. At dusk, the entire street transforms into a light and shadow maze. Guided by the master's secret signals, participants search for glowing miso jars. The puzzle-solving champion who completes the mission gets to forge a mini knife keychain by hand!
