This was such a fun experience! I am really into Japanese culture and history and having just learned about the Sengoku period was really cool to be a part of by trying on the armor! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the process and the armor sets. I speak both Japanese and English, so both the lady and gentleman that helped me properly explained the process, explained the history, and allowed me to take multiple poses with the armor. I chose the Nobunaga armor and they both explained how the armor was put on, what it’s called in Japanese and why, and helped put it on me and pose me in a great way for the photo! I did the regular plan and a photo add on, which was perfect for me. The bigger plans are definitely worth it for a much larger group. I definitely recommend giving this place a try! You get to feel like a samurai back in Japanese history!

A must do experience if you are into Japanese samurai history. Taro san, the owner was very friendly and took the time to explain the history of the Samurai and each pieces of the armor. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience.

This was such a great and unique experience. You get to put on samurai armors worn by historical figures and learn about them. The owners were such nice and knowledgeable people.

The experience process is great, for my English 0 minutes of Japanese study, the boss is still patient to use translation to talk to me, this time wearing Beno Feng, the next time I will wear Feng Shui

Learning, meeting people, experiencing new things, and making memories are why I travel. Sengoku accomplished all of these. Our group was 3 people from the US with no Japanese language skills, and I made reservations online. The team at Sengoku Photo Studio's English skills got us organized and directed for the photos. If as a kid (or adult) you ever played "dress up", RPGs or just cowboys, this is for you! Be a samurai for a couple of hours! If you watched Shogun, and thought it was cool (yes, I did) then this is for you! I didn't realize what cool things could be done with a green screen, but even all the behind the scenes photos we took are a hoot! We ranged in size and weight from a slim 5'7" to almost 200 lbs 5"10. Sengoku had armor to fit us all, and has children's sizes as well. This is some very intricate outfitting, not a mail order Halloween costume. The team is professional, friendly, talented and we very much enjoyed our time with them. Imagine, you not only get to dress the part, but there is a certain satisfaction in the posing and shouting to attack as you ready your sword! At the end of your photoshoot, your chosen photos, a thumb drive of others not printed, and other items (we chose canvas prints and mugs) are ready to go with you. The entire experience was so much fun! This will be a great memory from our trip to Japan, and I know I will look at these photos with joy and appreciation for the great experience.
