Ninja Village

Yes, I went to a real ninja town. It was this cool little village in the middle of the woods with random tunnels and houses with secret passageways and even a little jail. And I got certified! :D Though I only did one of the ninja tests out of four (Note: wearing a dress to a ninja test is not the best idea.) Even though we got rained on a bit, it was awesome.



Ninja house!

Our ninja tour guide... Wearing Nikes. 
It's not a well. It's the entrance to an underground tunnel :3

Super old house

The sign says the house is a hundred years old (I think). It's weird thinking that while we were wearing corsets
and driving buggies, Japan still had ninjas living in these awesome wooden houses with paper walls.

Into the ninja house. And Prof. Ball is giving me a look.

The fireplace slid open to a secret tunnel!

The low ceiling prevented anyone from swinging a sword indoors.

Secret passage #2

Kunoichi! (aka female ninjas)

Just an ordinary wall...

O wait, no it's secret passage #3.


Taylor's in the jail.


High five!

Even the vending machines are trying to camoflage in with the other moss-roofed structures.


"Lol silly Americans cannot catch the ninja!"

More ninjas with a tour group.

I did that wall!

Gloria climbing the wood wall.


Trying to walk on water... But really just falling over.

See, Molly knows how to do it.

  1. Dude, I wanna live in the ninja village! All those secret passageways are awesome. I have always thought that I would have a secret tunnel under my house going to something important, like a friend's house. Maybe you and I should do that! Oh and by the way, the ninja test looks awesome too! I soooooo would have done the 'walking on water' one. :D
