Drinks and throwing stars 🍺 🥷 ⭐️
Ninja Cafe and Bar was amazing! We stopped in for a mid-day drink and participated in the throwing star experience. What an awesome time. The owner of the bar was absolutely amazing as well….. he was friendly since the moment we got inside, he talked with us, explained the menu, and showed us how to properly throw the stars. What a gray memory for me and my groups of friends during our visit to Takayama. I highly recommend stopping here!

Fun shuriken throwing experience
I found the place by walking past it and it looked fun. I took my dad to here and we learned how to properly throw shurikens. After I had a competition with my dad and sadly lost but it was a lot of fun! It looks like it’s for kids but it is also a lot of fun for adults. They were polite people and de guy helping with the throwing also made it fun for us!
Operator response

It’s great to know that the activities can be enjoyed by both kids and adults🥷 We’ll be sure to pass your kind words to our staff. We hope to welcome you and your dad again for more fun times😊
