Becoming a Samurai

5.00I want to start off by saying that we didn’t have an appointment for the day we went and took a chance and visited the studio to see if they had any availability for the day since it was my husband’s birthday. Shimpei of Samurai Armor Photo Studio was so kind and was able to squeeze us into his schedule for the day. By doing so he made my husband’s dream come true. From the moment you arrive the Samurai experience begins and historical topics are discussed and you select your own samurai armor. Shimpei comes from generations of samurai and is with honor and respect introduced us to the history of the samurai and the honor that it is to wear the armor. My husband turned into a little child as his dream came true as he was being dressed into the Samurai Armor by an expert in Tokyo. The experience was truly amazing for my husband to experience and for me to see. They took approximately 200 photos of my husband throughout his transformation. This is a something that anyone who loves Japanese culture and history should do. Thank you for an amazing experience, for your hospitality and high energy throughout the experience. We felt truly blessed to have had this opportunity.
