5.00We had a great time at this samurai/Ninja experience. You get to hear a lot about the history and then throw some stars like real ninjas. And there's a competition that you just might win!
Warm and friendly experience!!

5.00It was so much fun to dress up in hakama and have a sword fighting demonstration!! I also really wanted to shoutout the instructor Rin! This was my younger brother's first cultural experience in Japan, and as someone with ASD, I was a little worried about him doing the experience. But, Rin was so friendly, patient, and warm towards my brother and he really helped kick off his first trip to Japan in a such a fun and wonderful way. Myself and Danny really appreciated you and Danny fondly remembers his experience with you!
