Myoryuji Ninja Temple, Kanazawa Overview

A defensive temple built by the Maeda in 1643 with hidden staircases, trick doors, a well shaft said to run to the castle and a room designed for seppuku with no exit. There were never any ninja here; the name is modern. The one thing to plan for is access: entry is by guided tour in Japanese only, tours run every 30 to 60 minutes, you must reserve ahead, and pre-school children are not admitted.
