Free train rides for Ninjas
I was spitting tea when I saw this.

From 4/1 to 5/6 during the "Iga Ueno NINJA Festival", those who are in Ninja gear can take a ride at the Iga Line (from Nishiote to Kayamachieki) for free.

Each year at downtown Iga-shi the Ninja Festival is held. There are various activities including experience corners of Shuriken-throwing. People can rent Ninja costumes and adults and children alike walking in Ninja style at the city.

Iga Railway started last year in October succeeding the Kintestu Iga Line.


Maybe I can wear a Kyokushin Dogi and wrap my head with a white t-shirt like this guy.

Carrying a Katana on train is also cool.

OSU!

Let me know when they give free plane rides. Attempting to walk through airport security fully armed with nija weapons would be priceless.

Well - actually, I memorised the instructions, and then walked (1 pace) to a mirror, and tried it. What the heck - it's Easter!!!!

Here is what it looked like:


See what I mean....a Sayonara must-have!!!

I would have thought that Ninja never have to buy tickets? Just claw their way down the side of the train...

Those crazy ninjas - how come we dont get free travel. Ninjas are almost invisible - they can get free travel all the time.

J & L, Martial Arts Supplies, Ninja Gear
