Texas in Japan, chopping away! - I had an absolute blast at the Best Samurai Experience! The session was fun, active, and engaging from start to finish.

Fun and informative experience. - Definitely recommend. The experience was amazing from start to finish. From choosing clothing to learning all the moves. Didn’t expect at the end to be able to perform the moves but the instructors were so patient. They made everyone in the group look good great memories. Thank you so much. One tip. If you are early recommend finding a cafe near the station before you get to the venue as there isn’t anything nearby.

Awesome experience !! - A truely excellent experience. The session lasted about a hour. I got to wear a full samurai kit and was taught a number of evasive, defensive and offensive samurai moves. These were put together into a mock fight scenece at the end. The team took lots of videos and photos which will make great keepsakes. Make this experience a part of your trip to Tokyo - it is well worth it!

Fun introduction to samurai sword fights - We were dressed up in samurai-style clothes (not armour, sadly), had a crash course in the basics of using a samurai sword, and acted out a duel. Everything was clean and safe, the actor/instructors were friendly and positive, and they communicated well without speaking much English. A fun and memorable experience.
