"ATTACK THE FUKUOKA CASTLE" is an exciting, experience-based challenge, which sees teams of people from different countries come together to "become" ninjas and try to capture Fukuoka Castle!

The name "Kuroda Kanbei" became extremely well-known thanks to the Taiga drama about his life. And it was Kanbei and his son "Kuroda Nagamasa" who built Fukuoka Castle. The aim of the game is to figure out puzzles and then finally infiltrate the castle that they built!

Men, women, young, old… the teams are are made up of participants from all over the world. Within a time limit of 60 minutes you will have to utilize each member of your group’s expertise and co-operate in order attack the castle. This thrilling game knows no boundary when it comes to where your from or what age you are, and by the end there is little doubt that you will have met new people and created new friendships!

Although lots of people may have visited as a tourist destination, there are probably not so many who have had a chance to ATTACK THE CASTLE! This summer make sure to get along to Fukuoka Castle and experience becoming a real life ninja for yourself! (Editorial Dept.: Sassy)
