Bujinkan Office & Museum (Japan)
A New Chapter for the Bujinkan: Construction of a New Office & Museum in Nodashi, Japan
Announced in September 2025, the Bujinkan organization is currently constructing a new three-story administration office and museum in Noda City, Japan. This landmark facility is designed to serve as a global hub for the organization, with the primary mission of “Introducing the Bujinkan [globally] and tracing the footsteps of the Soke.”
To facilitate this transformation, the site of Hatsumi Soke’s original home, and the adjacent "Bujinden" (武神殿; Warrior Spirit Palace) administrative office buildings were razed to make room for the new construction. With an estimated completion date of mid-to-late 2027, the project’s progress is being documented through photos (below) provided by local resident Mr. Suzutoku Kazuhiro and others in Japan. Check back often as we continue to add new images from the site as they become available.
