The park houses a full-scale reconstruction of Oda Nobunaga's Azuchi Castle, which was originally destroyed in the 16th century.
The facility was originally opened in 1993 under the name Ise Sengoku Village.
The location serves as a filming site for various Japanese period dramas and historical films.
The park's layout is designed to mimic the urban planning and castle-town hierarchy of the late Sengoku period.
Some staff members perform in character as historical figures or ninjas throughout the grounds.
Ninja Kingdom Ise, formerly known as Ise Azuchi-Momoyama Culture Village, is a historical theme park replicating the townscape of the Azuchi-Momoyama period. The site features a life-sized replica of Azuchi Castle, which serves as its most prominent landmark and observation point. The park offers various interactive attractions, including ninja-themed obstacle courses, shuriken throwing ranges, and traditional theater performances. Visitors can rent period-accurate kimono and samurai costumes to wear while exploring the grounds. The architecture emphasizes the aesthetics of 16th-century Japan, featuring wooden structures and traditional fortification designs. Several indoor facilities provide protection from weather, while outdoor paths wind through reconstructed village streets. It is located in the Futami area of Ise city, near the coastline. The park focuses on immersive historical education and entertainment.
The observation deck atop the replica of Azuchi Castle offers a panoramic view of the entire park and the surrounding Ise Bay.
