Ninja Explores Old Samurai Residences in Sakura

You will get dressed in your ninja costumes in a room at the Millennium Center, conveniently located near Keisei Sakura station. While we are not professional ninjas ourselves, we will help you put on your ninja costumes and taking amazing photos at all the best spots. Now that you’re all true ninjas, LET’S GO!!

Taking a taxi for a few minutes, you can visit Makata Shrine where you will have the chance to purify your hands, draw omikuji(fortune slip), and offer a prayer for your happiness.

In a 5-minute walk, you can visit three 200-year-old Samurai residences. You can enter two of them. Taking photos inside is permitted. Let’s imagine what life was like for a samurai during the Edo period (1603-1868)!

Just a 1-minute walk away, you can find a tranquil lane running through a bamboo forest which has remained almost unchanged since the Edo period. Let’s walk along the beautiful lane, which samurai may have used 200 years ago to travel to and from Sakura castle. It’s a great spot to take many beautiful photos!

In several minute walk, you can visit a Japanese confectionery, Kimuraya Zorokumochi Honpo, 222-1 Shinmachi, Sakura Chiba prefecture, located near the Sakura Museum. You will select your Wagashi to enjoy with either matcha or green tea at the Millennium Center or the shop. You won’t be visiting the Sakura Museum.

In a 7-minute walk, you can return to the Millennium Center, where you will change your clothes. You can enjoy Wagashi with Matcha if you haven’t drunk tea at the Japanese confectionery.
