This was an exciting and challenging experience! I recommend this tour for individuals who are adventurous and eager to experience the rawness of Japan. This was a rare and unique experience to have as a foreigner in the Japanese countryside. We started our tour at the Mura no Eki. I highly recommend buying local produce after the tour (omelettes and tomatoes are famous in town)! We took a relaxing bike ride through the village to get to the cave. Before going in the cave, we changed into ninja suits and tried our hands at throwing ninja stars. Our guide told us the story of the caves which was interesting to learn before entering. The day we went, the cave had been very dry so this meant it was easier to grip the rocks. The guide informed us that on wet days the cave can become quite slippery. In the middle of the cave, we took 5 minutes to meditate in darkness and silence. It was a special moment of tranquillity. There are several points inside the cave that require climbing ladders, crawling on the ground, and passing through narrow openings. We saw many bats and insects inside as well. The bats were quite alarming to see at first! However the entire time, the bats were sleeping and peaceful. The guide said that in the summer the bats are more likely to fly around. After the tour, we enjoyed a coffee and some local sweets while chatting with our guide and other members of the community. It was interesting to hear about their stories of the town.

A unique and thrilling experience! Myself and two friends spent an exciting afternoon cycling through the countryside to a cave tucked away in the mountains. Upon arrival, we were dressed in full ninja gear and guided through a winding cave. We learned the history of the area before during and after the tour. Although not for the faint of heart, this tour is completely unique and I would highly recommend! You can stop at the local market afterwards to purchase some local Kochi food. Delicious!

We had a wonderful time. We didn't do the bike portion of the tour due to rain/thunderstorms, but we didn't mind. Our guide Kay spoke English well enough to communicate how to safely navigate through the cave, and we could Google Translate any difficult phrases. Great fun for a family of caving novices including a 7 1/2 year old. Thanks for a great experience!

This was such a fun experience, and we had a fantastic time. We were treated like family by the staff/guides and they really made us feel welcome. The cave was a bit challenging to get through, but in a good way and nothing that we couldn't handle. Everyone was welcoming and were so happy to have us there and teach us about the history of the area and the ninja who trained in that cave. Finishing off with a friendly competition throwing (plastic) ninja stars was a highlight! Highly recommend this visit to anyone who has the opportunity to go!
