自転車で二条陣屋へJust a short ride south of Nijo Castle is Kyoto's famed Ninja House.
It is more formerly known as Nijo Jinya but it is for all intents and purposes the Ninja house.
The house has been continually owned by the Ogawa family since it was built, in the 1660s.
It is now being renovated, and will reopen in 2011.
The building was used as an encampment for visiting feudal lords, and thus has escape routes and other special design features.
