    I joint this amazing program. I experienced kenjutsu from the style of Shogun corps, Tennen Rishin Ryu. During training supervised by Master Inoue Genzaburo, the descendent of Shinsegumi. The program also guided with English by Yu Masubuchi San. It is really amazing experience at Shinsegumi hometown, Hino. Inoue Genzaburo Sensei and Yu Masubuchi San are very nice and very helpful. They guided me patiently. If you visit Japan, especially Tokyo or even Hino, I recommend this program for you.. it will be memorable experience for you. Let"s book the program and have a great experience.
