This is the house of the Mochizuki family, head of the fifty-three Koka ninja households, built in the Genroku era and still standing on its original site — the only genuine ninja residence surviving in Japan rather than a reconstruction. From the outside it is an ordinary farmhouse. Inside it has a concealed mezzanine and third floor, a revolving door, a trapdoor, a rope ladder into the roof space and observation slits cut so that a room can be watched from above without being entered.

Koka and Iga, over the ridge in Mie, were the two centres of the practice, and Koka's specialisation was pharmacology — the household medicine trade that grew out of it kept several families in business into the modern era. The house is small, privately run, and shown at your own pace rather than as a performance.

独家私藏情报

**It is the real thing, which is why it is small.** No shows, no costumed staff, no theme park. A Genroku-era farmhouse with the devices built into it, and you work them yourself. **Try the revolving door.** Visitors are expected to operate the mechanisms rather than look at them behind glass. That is the difference between this and the reconstructions. **Steep ladders and low openings.** The hidden floors are reached by ladder through gaps sized for someone crawling. Not suitable if that is a problem. **Koka's speciality was medicine.** The pharmacology that came out of the tradition turned into a household drug trade that survived into the twentieth century, and several Shiga pharmaceutical firms trace back to it. **Iga is over the ridge.** The other centre of the practice is in Mie, nearby, and treats the subject far more theatrically. Doing both shows the contrast. **Koka Real Ninja Museum is in the city.** A separate, newer facility near Koka Station with the historical exhibits, if the house leaves you wanting context.
