Kanazawa · Myōryuji (Ninja Temple)

Myōryuji is commonly called the 'Ninja Temple' and was built as a defensive outpost for the Kaga Clan. While the exterior appears like an ordinary temple, the interior features 23 mechanisms including pitfalls, hidden stairways, and secret passages disguised as alms boxes. With guided tours that explain each mechanism one by one, it's a popular Kanazawa destination enjoyed by both adults and children.
