Really enjoyable authentic experience. We only got to do 4 actual cuts and of foam not tatami as the picture suggests. Still highly recommended.
Thank you for joining us!





Lo que hace única la experiencia samurái de Kioto Esto es más que solo entrenamiento con espada: es una rara oportunidad de entrar en la historia viva de los samuráis. Ambientada en una residencia samurái de 260 años de antigüedad, la experiencia está profundamente arraigada en el pasado guerrero de Kioto. Lo que lo distingue es el equilibrio de acción, atmósfera y percepción. Junto con la capacitación práctica, los invitados adquieren un contexto significativo sobre los samuráis, entendiendo no solo cómo, sino por qué se practicaron estas tradiciones. Desde vestir ropa tradicional hasta practicar movimientos con instructores expertos, cada paso te sumerge en una forma de vida moldeada por siglos de disciplina. Perfeccionarás tu forma a través del trabajo con espada y luego cortarás un objetivo con un iaitō real. La experiencia termina con la meditación zen y la oportunidad de sostener una espada antigua de samurái, conectando cuerpo, mente e historia. Diseñado cuidadosamente, ofrece una poderosa introducción al espíritu duradero de los samuráis.

Very interesting, you don’t just get hands on experience with a sword, you get some history on the very house the event takes place in. You get information on the components and make up of a sword, the role of zen as well as being able to hold some antique weapons. Afterwards we got taken through some sword handling techniques before doing some cutting with the sword. The staff there take photos with their own camera which they make available for you to download, so if you are there solo, you can still get some great mementos.
Thank you for the kind and thorough review! We were glad to have you join us!
If you're interested in Samurai culture and swordsmanship, this is a must. You get a bit of everything - a history lesson, shamisen music, zen meditation - and if course, the highlight is the Iaido lesson with practice swords (just like the real thing, just not quite as sharp!). The staff are really nice and helpful, and the instructor is brilliant. The highlight for me was handling a 650-year-old sword (very carefully!). Worth every penny.

Truly a one of a kind experience when in Kyoto, you get to experience a part of Japan most tourists do not. This was our favorite excursion in Kyoto, and the amount of history we learned was incredible! Super fun for the whole family and the pictures came out great!

Great insights into samurai sword fighting technique! A must for samurai fans who have always wanted to hold a sword in their hand
Vielen Dank, dass Sie dabei sind!
Fun hands-on activity and a history lesson all packaged into one unforgettable and unique experience.
Thank you for the lovely review!
This was one of our favorite experiences during our trip to Japan. It marked a number of boxes in just 2 hours, we had a meditation session, sword lesson, drum beating and our main event of trying our samurai skills. The instructors were amazing and the photos they took for us were plentiful and amazing. Highly recommend for any age as my 9 year old loved it as much as my husband and I.
It makes us very happy to hear that we were able to provide a fulfilling experience for you and your family! Thank you very much for visiting us and taking part in samurai traditions!
