You will have a good chance of taking photos while striking a Ninja pose inside the samurai house and in the Japanese-style garden. As an option, you can learn the mindset of the Japanese by visiting the Inari shrine at the back of the samurai house and learning the meaning of 'Torii' gate at Shinto shrine.

After sweating from the Ninja training, you will go to Tsuru-Tsuru Onsen and enjoy soaking in a hot spring.
