Iga Ninja Museum	# 1   of 2 sights in Iga Ueno

Ninja were the spies of Japan's feudal ages, gathering information about the enemy and conducting various other acts of espionage. The Iga School of ninjutsu (art of stealth), based in Iga Ueno, used to be Japan's leading ninja school besides the Koga School in Shiga Prefecture. The small but excellent Iga Ninja Museum consists of a ninja residence with revolving walls, trap doors and hidden compartments, exhibition halls displaying ninja tools, gadgets and weapons and a demonstration zone with spectacular shows featuring ninja skills and real weapons. Exhibits come with explanatory signs in Japanese and English, while paper sheets with English explanations are available for the ninja residence. The shows are held in Japanese only, but most of the action speaks for itself. Demonstration Zone Exhibition Hall
