Great hands-on samurai and ninja experience! - Our sensei Ryo did a fantastic job teaching our family the samurai fighting moves and guiding us through (and taking videos of) two fights! The history review and the ninja shuriken throwing were fun as well. We also got to take pictures in samurai armor - the staff was super-helpful and patient with us. Overall, we loved the experience!

Magnificent experience! - We had a great experience! Samurai clothing, history lessons, ninja star throwing and sword lessons! Make sure there is a sensei on site so you can cut bamboo with real swords.

This was a highlight of our trip to Tokyo! Sensei Ryo was an incredible teacher. Taking his samurai class is a must!! - Learning about the history of the Samurai here was interactive and fun and fun for everyone in our group! We highly recommend taking the Samurai class with Sensei Ryo. It was incredible.He is a very patient and knowledgeable teacher who has 30+ years of experience in the art. The Ninja class was a hit with our family also!
