This was an unforgettable...

This was an unforgettable experience. Practicing traditional samurai tatami cutting felt both powerful and deeply respectful of Japanese culture. The instructor was incredibly calm, patient, and genuinely kind. I highly recommend this experience.

Operator response

I too hold this understanding, firmly engraved upon my heart. For a samurai, to speak is to stake one's very life. Only when granted permission by one's lord or superior—through words like "Raise your head" or "Do not be troubled"—is one permitted to speak. This is the way of etiquette, and the path to avoid shame. Truly, it is a weighty understanding. I gather you, too, hold this as a vital teaching when conveying it to foreign guests. Now then, let us together share the heart of Bushido. 21:00:26

A moment as sharp as it is unforgettable!

Very good experience, the explanations were clear and precise, he helped us as best as possible, taught us some movements. With joy and good atmosphere. Really go ahead and close your eyes. It's well worth it.

Honorable and serious

Sensei Ray is very patient and has 15+ years of experience, teaching me the names of all the moves in Japanese and a few tricks to improve the techniques.

Operator response

From childhood, the son of a samurai learns the way of the sword, and at fifteen is permitted to wear a real sword at his side. At that moment, he becomes conscious of his pride and the responsibility of carrying a deadly weapon, and the days of endless training begin. Also, in response to your kind words of praise for the staff, "Arigataki shiawase" ― A traditional expression meaning "extremely fortunate, a rare coincidence."

Bushido student

The class was very nice, in very little time I learned a lot, including the use of the Katana and Bushido culture. It was awesome.

Samarai training in osaka

Great experience. One on one with samarai trainer. Learned multiple moves. Used real sword to perform moves and slash material. Would do again!! They took great pictures.

Very disappointing

Bought our tickets for 10 AM and waited around, but no one opened the shop… Very disappointing 👎🏻 We traveled via train for more than 35 minutes to get there and were super excited, so this was a total bummer. Plus, very unprofessional. It wasted our money, but most of all, wasted our whole morning…

Highly enjoyable and memorable experience.

Attended this experience with my son (22). We both had an amazing time learning about samurai history and how to preform katas with a katana. It was just a short walk from the Osaka Castle grounds.

Operator response

The sword is the soul of the samurai; it cannot be sold even if it starves to death.
