must visit experience in Tokyo - 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!

An unparalleled, refined experience! - Unlike other forms of swordsmanship, this activity emphasized action, allowing me to channel my emotions directly into being a samurai. It was an incredibly exciting hour. Training with the masters was intense, and experiencing something so unique in Japan was truly invaluable.

I became a true samurai. - I learned the actions of a samurai and the spirit of Zen from a 25-year professional. Coming to Japan, I was able to become a real samurai and return! The solemn dojo was also wonderful, and it's something you should definitely experience at least once. Having a deep interaction with the choreographer of the movie "Kill Bill," I was able to hear many stories.
