The perfect way to escape the city life

Published on Dec, 2024

I had an incredible experience at Yusuke-San's class. From the beginning, we felt safe and welcomed at the retreat in the foothills of the picturesque Mt Fuji. We were given an outline of what to expect for the day, and every activity that we participated in was nothing short of amazing. The way we were able to experience authentic ancient traditions is something that I will never forget. I came out of the class with my mind and spirit refreshed and reset. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone looking to escape the busy cities of Japan to clear their minds and hearts.

Make you feel like a real Samurai.

Published on Dec, 2024

Every penny worth to experience the lecture and learn the philosophy of a Samurai and great performance. I super recommend to try at least once!
