My Dream came true in Tokyo - I want to thank Takemura with his wonderful positive attitude. I also had a wonderful time wearing the Samurai of Sanada. It was my dream to go to Tokyo to wear a Samurai outfit because of the influence in video games, anime and tv series like Shogun, Disney + also Tokyo, Japan was my number one holiday dream and it came true :) If you are a Tourist in Tokyo I fully recommend this place just on the right side of the building were Lawson Convenience store, Shibuya is located.

Feeling the Weight - Booked a slot on the 21-May-2024 at around 11am, and probably is the first group to arrive for the day. We were instantly welcomed by the Manager - Shimpei Takemura and his team. He gave a brief rundown on the background of the Samurai who once donned the familiar armours and allowed us to touch and take photos before the actual fun began. The armour itself weighs about 30 kilograms (66 pounds) and trying to walk really makes you wonder how the warriors of the past can charge at their enemies with ease. All in all, I truly enjoyed my time there and look forward to another visit in the near future.

Fantastic and worth every cent. - My husband booked this for both of us, and I will admit I was skeptical, especially because it was not inexpensive. However, I am so glad he did, it was absolutely worth every penny. The experience for the two of us lasted about 90 minutes. It takes time to have all that armor put on properly and they took tons of photos. They provided us with an SD card of approximately 300 photos and he also airdropped them to my iphone while we were there. I was expecting the "nickel-and-diming" that happens in the US for an event like this, but it never occurred. Of all the things we did throughout Japan, this was my husband's hands down favorite. And I admit it was fantastic.

Samurai For A Moment 😀 - How can I thank you Takemura for today’s photo shoot and making it so much fun. Explaining some his-tort of the Samurai was great. Explaining each part of the armor as you become my personal dress page was simply AWESOME! Takemura, thanks for all the pictures! Thank you for your kindness and kind words and greeting! My wife and I are simply humbled by your kindness and what we have experienced in your country😀 How could anyone not get this done when in Tokyo is beyond me. あなたは自分自身や家族だけでなく、自分の仲間をどう扱うかによって自分の家族にも敬意を表します。ありがとう Anata wa jibun jishin ya kazoku dakedenaku, jibun no nakama o dō atsukau ka ni yotte jibun no kazoku ni mo keii o arawashimasu.
