Itinerary

Uncover Kendo's rich history: Learn about brief Kendo history, Reiho, refined behaviours for Kendo, and the Bushido Spirit. Kendo Experience (Kendo striking practice): Wear Kendo protective armours such as Dogi/Hakama (Kendo uniform), Men (Kendo mask), Kote (arm protectors), Do (torso protector), and Tare (leg protector). Use Shinai (bamboo sword) to strike each other. Strike and compete based on the match format. Due to the difficulty of experiencing Kendo, changing clothes and taking pictures will be the main activities for children aged between three and five years old.

Amazing experience, highlight of my time in Osaka. Was a great learning experience, fun, and active! An experience you can’t really get anywhere else, where you get to participate and learn some sword fighting skills and put them to use in practice. Good for most ages. Definitely would recommend!
