Fun Cultural Experience in Tokyo - If you’re into cultural activities, then this tour is one to go for. I joined the Samurai Experience, where our group experienced dyeing our own bandanas using the Edo Indigo Dyeing technique I love that we got to take home the bandanas we designed or dyed. We were greeted by Samurai Masters for the sword training. We got to hold a real samurai sword- well, we used fake ones during the training, which was more fun and safe.

Great authentic experience - It was a great experience where I got to learn about Edo dyeing and also got to hold a real katana and learn how to master it! If you are into an authentic experience this is for you!

10/10 Samurai and Dyeing Tour!! - Was truly magnificent how deep samurai and dyeing culture is. Best thing of the tour is that you get to hold a real life katana and you get to bring your own traditional painting back home. Would rate it as 10/10
