忍者寺 / Ninja-dera Temple

「忍者寺」という名前に惹かれて訪れた妙立寺。見学するのに予約が必要で、でも当日でも受け付けてもらえました。約40分程のガイド付きのミニツアーで、まるで迷路のような建物をくまなく見ることができます。一見普通の2階建ての建物が、実は7層4 階からなり、23の部屋と29の階段そして2つの落とし穴が仕組まれています!ここは本当にオススメ!

Myoryu-ji temple is known as Ninja-dera and I was attracted by its name so decided to visit there. I needed to book the tour to go in, but they accepted me booking on the day. The tour with a guide last for 40mins (it is only in Japanese but there were English leaflet which explain everything they says). It looks like a normal two storys building from outside but there are 23 rooms, 29 stairs, and 2 hidden pits in the floor. This is the place to go if you like ninja kind thing.
