These ninja may not be very stealthy, but they are fleet of foot. They work in Mie Prefecture’s town of Iga, which is famous in Japan as a home to ninja.

The costumes coincided with the Iga Ueno Ninja Festa, an annual ninja-themed event that attracts visitors to the region. Although it was only a limited-time event, the initiative got rave reviews from locals. These ninja disappeared as suddenly as they appeared… but one day they may be back!
