Fantastic experience! The staff was super kind, funny and understanding as well as patient. I’d highly recommend that anyone traveling to Japan make this one of their first stops!

Great experience, we really had fun! First we got dressed in Samurai attire (don't worry if you are "bigger" like me, they have all kinds of sizes), got our Katanas and learned the basic commands and steps, afterwards we practiced a fight scene. They kindly took photos during the whole event and also videotaped the sword fight for us. The video is definitely something to brag about at home, looks very professional. :D Thanks to everyone at the theater!
