Stage like a Samurai

Published on Nov, 2024

Beautiful experience, we were taught the basics of the manners of a samurai and the various names of the parts of a katana, The names of cutting techniques and movements. After that we practiced with the teacher to stage a fight choreography like in the movies Really fun, all very friendly and helpful. Excellent real-time translation by our Japanese to English translator. Absolutely recommended

A glimpse into samurai life

Published on Jun, 2024

Attending this Samurai School was an incredible experience! I felt like a real samurai, learning etiquette, rules, and participating in exciting fight choreography. The instructors were passionate and supportive, making the practice with swords (竹光刀) both fun and educational. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Japanese culture or martial arts!

A unique experience!

I am very happy to have had the opportunity to experience being a samurai right near Tokyo Skytree. I was thrilled to be able to learn directly from a real samurai action star! I highly recommend this school!

The action was incredibly intense, and it drew out my emotions. I had a lot of fun with such a memorable experience. must to do in Japan!

must visit experience in Tokyo

Published on Jun, 2024

This was so fun! I would say this is the best experience in Tokyo for me. First, I became a samurai by wearing samurai costume & choosing japanese sode. Then I learned samurai action & japanese spirits which have a long history. I was a solo participant but my teacher was super friendly & open minded so I could enjoy more. What's more, they took a lot of pictures & videoes of me. Especially, the video of final performance is as amazing as a scene of movies. It's so precious to me! highly recommended!
