Privater Blick hinter die Fassade der Ninjas - We had a really interesting and varied tour with Taka through the land of the Koka Ninjas. Taka is actually a descendant of the ninjas and knows a lot about the history, weapons and practices of the ninjas. In addition, his tour is well thought out and very personal. His wife is also very nice and both of them welcomed us warmly into their private home. Taka's private tour is highly recommended for people who value private contact.
