The many twists, turns and trapdoors of Kanazawa’s incredible Ninja Temple

Or, if neither of those pique your interest, there’s also the ninja temple, whose layout is said to be so confusing that few could make it out without a guide.
Although the official name of the structure is Myoryuji, literally the “oddly built temple,” it’s better known as Ninja-dera, the ninja temple.
As an official Buddhist temple, Myoryuji’s ostensible purpose was as a place of worship.
Thankfully, not knowing who was responsible for the Ninja Temple so many years ago doesn’t mean visitors can’t still marvel at his or her craftsmanship today.
