# Iga-ryu Ninja Museum

From outside the trick house looks like an ordinary farmhouse. Revolving walls, hidden stairs and trick doors were built in to guard gunpowder recipes and ninja techniques. Ninja and kunoichi, women ninja, work them in front of you as they lead the way. A basement hall holds replica tools made from ninja manuals, including shuriken and water spiders. A former rice store now tells the history and daily life of the ninja. Beside the house you can throw real shuriken, which are heavy in the hand.
