Tokyo’s Ninja Warriors! Mt. Midoriama! Tokyo Nightlife!

Welcome To Mt. Midoriama!

mt-midoriama original ninja warrior

For fans of NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior”, it’s been a great summer of competition….and fans also know the original course in Japan featured one of the greatest TV sets ever constructed – Mt. Midoriama! You can see a huge bonfire set ablaze late at night during filming to warm up the cold Japan air!

That is just one reason there were so many passionate competitors taking on the course in Japan…

The japanese title of the show is “Sasuke”, and the one hundred competitors would show up in all sorts of outrageous costuming – or just painted!

I got the chance to visit the “Ninja Warrior” course several times – and of course, got to spend time in one of the world’s most amazing cities as well – here is a look at that experience!

May the lights of Mt. Midoriama shine forever!
