NINJA Tourism

- tokaido -

The stage of the trip around NINJA is
From Kansai to "East"

The next stage is Japan's main artery "Tokaido" and "Nakasendo" and "Koshu Dochu" where nature and history remain.

Red Route
Aiming for Edo from the unexplored region of the mountains

The route from Nakasendo, which was like a back road of Tokaido because of its steepness, to Edo through the Koshu Highway overlooking Mt. Fuji. The mountains of the Alps, which form a series of veins, not only provide beautiful scenery, but also blessings such as highland vegetables and fruits, delicious spring water and hot springs. When you enter Tokyo while visiting Suwa Shrine and Mount Takao, which have been worshiped since ancient times, you will find skyscrapers lined up with the history of Edo everywhere. After worshiping Kaminarimon at Senso-ji Temple, would you like to have a banquet at Ameyoko or Shinjuku Golden Gai?

Black Route
Travel through the ages on the aorta and the Tokaido

A route that follows the Tokaido, one of the main roads connecting Edo and Kyoto. Beginning in Sekigahara, the dividing point of the world, we will visit Nagoya Castle, which is associated with Ieyasu Tokugawa, the tea plantations and coastline of Shizuoka, Hakone Onsen, the lively Nakamise Shopping Street in Enoshima, and the historic Kamakura temples and shrines before heading to Edo. The area around the Tokaido, which is said to be the main artery, has historically played a major role, and of course, gourmet food and superb views are also indispensable. I wonder if that historical figure also took this route from Sekigahara to Edo, which was a turning point in the times.

NINJA route
Let's enjoy with "app"!

"SARF" is an app that makes the NINJA route a more immersive and special experience.

"SARF" is a service that allows you to enjoy various audio and music contents from your smartphone by utilizing the location information of GPS.

Just by keeping the app running, NINJA can act as a tourist guide in many languages at various tourist spots on the NINJA route, and sometimes protect you from the enemy NINJA. Beside the shogun, he will be like NINJA himself, who has given us various information.

Discover and enjoy the nature, culture, and history of various parts of Japan that can be seen from different perspectives in red and black.

original story

"NINJA" is a secret group that has been stealing from the world since ancient times. In the distant future, the ultimate ninjutsu, "Jikuu Tonkou no Jutsu", which transcends time and space and goes back to the past, was created, inheriting the techniques and spirit along with the changes of history. With this technique, the battle between the two major schools of "NINJA" to create the future intensifies.

The "black" clan is trying to go back to the past and change history, and the "red" clan is going to the past to stop it.
Strangely enough, now, the leaders of both tribes are giving ninja duties to three NINJA at the same time.
The "Kuro" family consists of the gluttonous Tonkichi, the nature-loving Ren, and the sketcher Hokusai.
The "Red" family consists of Mugi, who has a keen sense of taste, Genzo, a photographer, and Kaoru, a historical novelist.

A drama that interweaves the views of nature, the architecture that has left its name in history, the food culture, and the intermingling thoughts of people. Following the traces of history, NINJA of both races head to the past.


Sound AR "SARF"

Sound AR "SARF" is a mechanism that utilizes GPS and beacon location information to deliver voice content linked to a specific location in multiple languages from a dedicated app.

By approaching the area displayed on the map, the audio content will be activated and the audio and music related to that area will be played.

It can be used in various situations such as city tours, stamp rallies, and pilgrimages to sacred places, just like taking an audio guide from a museum or art gallery out on the town.

Since the content is audio, it is safe and enjoyable because you are not "walking around" looking at your smartphone while strolling.

Another great feature is that even in the same location, visitors can experience different content depending on the situation, such as day and night, spring, summer, fall, and winter.
