Participate in “NINJA WALK” hosted by the Japan Ninja Council!

~An experiential tour where you can disguise yourself as a “ninja'' and walk around places associated with ninjas~

Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd., which operates “MIMARU,'' an apartment hotel with spacious rooms equipped with kitchens where you can enjoy “staying together'' with your family and friends, has opened “NINJA WALK'' (NINJA WALK) for MIMARU guests at 9 “MIMARU'' facilities in Tokyo. We will start providing information on the "Walk" experience tour from November 30, 2023.

According to the "Ninja Global Survey"* conducted by the Japan Ninja Council in 2017, awareness of ninjas in 10 overseas countries was 98.7%, and about 50% of them said they wanted to become a ninja. “NINJA WALK'' is a unique Japanese culture experience where everyone from adults to children can disguise themselves as “ninjas'', which are popular overseas, and walk around Tokyo's ninja-related places and sightseeing spots while listening to explanations in English. The event is sponsored by the Japan Ninja Council, the world's only official ninja organization, which brings together local governments, tourism associations, and private companies in places associated with ninjas to spread ninja culture.
