Shuriken in the Mall

March 10, 2008, Tempozan Harbor Village, Osaka, Japan. We found a ninja-themed store in the mall near Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan and it had a booth game where you toss shuriken ("throwing stars") at targets and try to win prizes. Naturally, I decided to give it a try. Lots of fun, and much harder than it looks. Although I only ended up hitting one bullseye, that was good enough to win a small rubber shuriken prize.

SO COOL!  DIRECTIONS?

[mtfalk]

@ROBWALL9 It was in a place called "Tempozan Harbor Village", which is right next to the big aquarium in Osaka. It was basically a mall (with shops and a food court etc.). You can't miss it, there's a giant ferris wheel there ("Tempozan Ferris Wheel"). The shuriken booth was in the back of a ninja/toy store in the village. I think it might have been on the 2nd or 3rd floor, but I can't remember for sure. Hope that helps!

Hehehe, I barely understood her. I gathered this much: the more bullseyes you hit, the better the prizes. If memory serves, I won two plastic toy shuriken :)
