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!





Ce qui rend l'expérience samouraï de Kyoto unique C’est plus qu’un simple entraînement à l’épée, c’est une chance rare d’entrer dans l’histoire vivante des samouraïs. Située dans une résidence de samouraïs vieille de 260 ans, l'expérience est profondément ancrée dans le passé guerrier de Kyoto. Ce qui le distingue, c’est l’équilibre entre l’action, l’atmosphère et la perspicacité. Parallèlement à la formation pratique, les invités acquièrent un contexte significatif sur les samouraïs – comprenant non seulement comment, mais pourquoi ces traditions ont été pratiquées. Du port de vêtements traditionnels à la pratique de mouvements avec des moniteurs Experts, chaque étape vous plonge dans un mode de vie façonné par des siècles de discipline. Vous affinerez votre forme grâce au travail à l"épée, puis découperez une cible avec un véritable iaitô. L'expérience se termine par la méditation zen et la chance de tenir une épée de samouraï antique - reliant le corps, l'esprit et l'histoire. Conçu avec soin, il offre une puissante introduction à l'esprit durable des samouraïs.

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.

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!
