Great family experience

5.00We had a wonderful experience in Osaka! I came with my daughters and we all enjoyed it very much. We wore traditional Japanese clothes, tried calligraphy, took part in a tea ceremony, and even played traditional instruments. I also had the opportunity to wear a samurai costume, which was a great experience. The staff took photos for us and everyone was extremely kind and welcoming. Everything was very well organized. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Highly recommended! Yurij, Kira, Jelizaveta.
Amazing cultural experience

5.00Our kimono experience was amazing! The staff was so welcoming and knowledgeable, and I was able to be the first male to try on the male version of the kimono. Being the first male to wear a kimono here seemed to amaze the staff and they could not stop complimenting me, it was so kind of them. Samurai show actors and actresses were amazing and engaging, and the other performances were memorable. I cannot recommend this experience enough :)
An interactive way to get insight into Japanese culture!

5.00This was a wonderful interactive cultural experience. I will never forget being dressed in my kimono with the ladies explaining all the various steps. The calligraphy lesson was also amazing and I will have my amateur efforts framed :).

5.00After a week of temples, shrines, and castles, I found this experience in Osaka and I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed it. I'm not usually a "joiner", but with each activity I found myself more interested in the next. We played the shamisen, dressed in kimonos, learned calligraphy, participated in a sword fight, it was fun and informative. I don't want to forget the tea ceremony, who knew I could enjoy matcha. Thank you all for teaching us about your history in a unique way.
Amazing experience
