5.00This experience was one of the best during our travel through Japan. The staff were helpful and very entertaining. We all enjoyed the authentic garb and reenacting samurai movements. We were fortunate to take a few photos with our instructors, the best photo is now framed on my wall. We had a lot of fun! Afterwards we all agreed that this was a must see/ do on our trip.
Awesome experience

5.00My two college kids, husband and I went. The staff was very nice. It wasn’t much of an educational or cultural experience as I had initially thought. But we had a great time doing something unique and different and have fun pictures and memories.
