Transform into a ninja dog! Dog Cafe JACKGAIN

The first place we visited when we arrived in Iga was JACKGAIN, a popular dog cafe in Mie.

Jackgain rents out ninja costumes for dogs, so you can transform into a cute ninja dog.

The image of a ninja dog looks like this. (*Please use your costume with care.)

Every dog looks the same. (I fantasize about Ringoro as a ninja...lol)

Now, Ringoro will soon transform into a ninja...!

So cute...!

I tried transforming into a red ninja after Ringo's ``Ringo'', but what do you think? lol

However, Ringo doesn't seem to like wearing headgear, so he decides to take it off afterwards... (disappointing)

After putting on the costume, insert a toy sword and your ninja dog is ready (The One Sword Style)

By the way, you can receive this sword when you return it, and Ringoro wields it every day at home. (It hurts when it hits)

Next, the whole family will have a drink break and eat their fill.

Jack Gain's has a wide variety of menus for dogs, and Ringo ordered the popular dish "Chiki Chiki" (583 yen including tax).

The moment Chiki Chiki arrived, Ringoro leaned forward and reacted like this.

Ringoro is a little wary of his first meal, so I was wondering if he would eat it...

Despite those concerns, I finished the meal in one minute. lol

In addition to food and ninja costumes, Jack Gain also sells many dog goods.

Toys, clothes, snacks, food...When you look at them, you can't help but want them.

Our family bought Ringo some snacks and toys.

Both children and adults can transform into ninjas! Danjiri Kaikan

Next, head to the Danjiri Hall where you can try out a human ninja costume.

At our house, my father and eldest daughter have completely transformed into ninja costumes...! !

Eh, what do you think? (Teru)

*Ninja clothes come in several colors, so you can choose your favorite color!

By the way, my eldest daughter is addicted to a certain popular ninja anime and is very excited to be able to become the ninja of her dreams. (He looked like he couldn't help but look forward to it since the day before lol)

And at Danjiri Kaikan, I found this trick. (I have no choice but to do this...!)

*Ringoro has a hard time walking when he wears clothes, so I took them off...(Tohoho)

Even if you take a photo like this with just your dog, it's sure to turn out to be a surreal photo.

And this is also a trick photo spot inside the Danjiri Kaikan.

The roof here is several tens of centimeters high, but by shooting with the camera from below, you can take pictures as if you were climbing on the roof.

Explore Iga in ninja clothes! Cafe huone

So let's explore Iga in ninja clothes! First, I would like to introduce Cafe huone, which is located near Danjiri Kaikan.

Huone-san is a popular cafe where you can bring your dog for coffee and food.

Dogs are not allowed inside the store, but you can take a break on the bench in front of the store.

Our family also had a cafe au lait that made us feel relieved.

Huone's homemade omelet rice (starting at 1,180 yen including tax) is a very popular menu item, so my family ordered it as takeout.

*Takeout is only available on weekdays, and you can choose between pasta or omelet rice.

Come join us! Iga Ueno Castle

After taking a breather, the ninja group headed to Iga Ueno Castle, which was about a 10-minute walk away.

Iga Ueno Castle can be seen in the background.

This is a popular spot where you can take pictures wearing ninja clothes with the castle in the background! (Ringo, turn towards me...)

This is what it looks like when taken from the stairs of the castle.

The combination of a castle and a Japanese dog looks good together.

Afterwards, I went to a bench in front of Iga Ueno Castle to eat the omelet rice I had taken out from Huone earlier.

The combination of fluffy eggs and homemade ketchup was irresistible, and my wife was impressed while eating it! (Thank you for the meal!)

By the way, in spring, you can see a collaboration between the cherry blossoms in full bloom and the castle.

I'm getting excited just thinking about it, so I'd like to come back to see it again when the cherry blossom season comes around.

*Small dogs that can be caged or held are allowed to enter the castle tower.

How was it? This time, we've brought you a stroll through Iga where dogs and humans can experience ninja together.

Iga is the hometown of ninjas, so I was surprised to find so many spots around the city where you can experience being a ninja.

By the way, most of Ringo's reactions were, ``What am I doing?'' (lol), but my daughter, who is into ninjas, seemed really excited. (Later, my father was forced to play ninja at home...)

Please come and experience Iga's ninja life with your dog and your family.

This ninja experience is also available on YouTube, so please check it out as well.
