Ninja house avoids demolition

Photo taken on Oct. 13, 2020, in Hirosaki in Aomori Prefecture, northeastern Japan, shows the inside of a historic house supposedly used as a ninja base hundreds of years ago. It has avoided demolition after its new owner, Mitsumaro Sato (in the picture), a 63-year-old Hirosaki city official, agreed to preserve the one-story house and use it to pass down the history and the culture of ninjas.
