Mt. Fuji from Oshino Ninja Village

A Ninja-Themed Village Beneath Mount Fuji

Oshino Ninja Village, known locally as Shinobi no Sato, is a recreated Edo-period ninja settlement built directly beneath the northern slopes of Mount Fuji. The park's open square and pathways give an unobstructed sightline toward the summit whenever the sky is clear.

Thatched Roofs and Traditional Craft

The village recreates a historic ninja hamlet with steep, thatched-roof farmhouses, wooden fences, and a small shrine gate, evoking the rural architecture of Yamanashi centuries ago. Visitors can watch demonstrations of traditional ninja skills amid this preserved setting.

Part of the Fuji Five Lakes Region

Oshino sits within the Fuji Five Lakes (Fujigoko) area, prized for its clear views of Mount Fuji and its proximity to the crystal-clear springs of Oshino Hakkai. The village draws travelers exploring the wider volcanic landscape at the mountain's base.
