Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Created in 2004 by merging Ueno City with a few of the surrounding towns, the city of Iga is most famous for being one of the two major areas where ninjas were trained during the feudal area. Today, the biggest tourist attraction in Iga is the Ninja Museum, which features both informative exhibits and live demonstrations.
Other attractions worth seeing include the beautifully reconstructed Ueno Castle, the birthplace of the famous poet Matsuo Basho, and the Sukodo Former School, where the children of samurai were educated until the building was badly damaged by an earthquake until 1854.
