The Ninja’s Path
Far from pop culture myths, real ninjas were masters of precision, endurance, stealth, and self-discipline—not theatrics. They trained their bodies and minds to move with quiet intention, blending physical ability with heightened awareness. This immersive seven-day journey takes you from the bustling streets of central Tokyo to the serene forests of Satoyama. Through urban missions and forest training, you will learn to observe without being seen, move without wasted effort, and sharpen both body and mind.
Experience the true tradition of ninjutsu, where resilience, adaptability, and presence are the ultimate skills.
Split Between City and Nature: Tokyo to Satoyama
This experience bridges two contrasting environments that shaped historical ninjutsu. In Tokyo, you’ll train in dojos and carry out stealth missions among the city’s alleys and temples—spaces that once concealed real ninja activity. Then, in the forests of Satoyama, the focus shifts to rhythm, silence, and adapting to terrain. These mountains provided both refuge and challenge to historical ninja. Today, they offer the same test of awareness. By moving through both environments, you’ll gain a grounded understanding of how ninjas honed their skills in real-world, real-condition settings—urban and natural, visible and hidden.
