What To Expect

Train like a real samurai in Tokyo with Master Koshiro in an exclusive private temple. In this private experience, you will train directly with Master Koshiro, founder of BUGAKU, learning authentic samurai movements, posture, and precise sword techniques. No previous experience is needed – beginners are welcome. Set in an exclusive private temple not open to the public, this experience goes beyond typical tourism into a deeper cultural encounter. You will practice traditional kata, developing focus, balance, and body awareness while gaining insight into the mindset and discipline of the samurai. This is not a performance, but a genuine training experience rooted in centuries-old samurai tradition, designed to quiet the mind and sharpen the body.
