NINJA VR KYOTO — Local services in Kyoto

A unique experience if travelling to Kyoto. The owner of the establishment has invented the VR ninja experience himself and it is definitely a start up type of business where the developer is involved with clients on a face to face level. The business is located upstairs from an art gallery a short stroll from Higashiyama station. The outside of the building is well signed. The space itself is small and in many ways rudimentary, however the staff make it an interesting and fun experience with educational aspects as well as actually having a go with both ninja stars and blow darts.

Perfect short outing for our family of 7 (1 baby and 4 kids ages 3-9). Bit of a hole in the wall, but it added to the charm. Every kid thought it was a highlight of the trip. The ninja star throwing and blowgun shooting was especially awesome. The VR was fun as well, especially if you haven't done that sort of thing before. Really kind workers and worth the trip + it's a fun little shopping district to...
