Only in Japan - a day for Ninja

Today, and February 22nd annually, is Ninja Day (忍者の日) in Japan. The day was created by a graphics and design company in 2015. They chose the date because 2/22 can be read in Japanese as "nin-nin-nin" echoing the sound associated with ninja and ninjutsu.

The company who created the anniversary are involved in producing ninja‑themed restaurants and entertainment, including Ninja Tokyo. Ninja Tokyo is an entertainment restaurant themed around a hidden ninja village. Guests enter through a disguised entrance. Furthermore, you walk through a cave‑like passage into a space designed like an underground ninja hideout. The experience includes theatrical service, ninja‑style magic tricks, as well as elaborate course meals with surprise elements.

The "ninja" pictured in this post is an actor at Edo Wonderland in Tochigi Prefecture, where they have a ninja house you can explore and other ninja experiences too. You will find Edo Wonderland reviewed on City-cost.
