5.00It was amazing! The armors were so cool, they do a matcha ceremony, and they give you swords you can actually unsheathe. The smoke machine made the photos come out really cool. They allow you to buy some of the pieces and they were really nice. Very friendly even making small talk in English in case you don’t speak Japanese
Loved it!!

5.00You will not find a better studio to take you to feudal Japan. Besides all the fun I had using the gear and weapons, the crew was very warm and considerate. Madee felt among friends instead of just a crewman. And don't even get me started on the gear. Come check it out, and you'll know what I mean.
