AMAZING!!! 10 out of 10! Must do in Kyoto. Learned so much about Samurai and Kendo history, culture and practice. We got to spar at the very end. Taka was our sensei and he was very articulate and patient with us beginning. Made me want to book another class back home in Miami :)

Excellent time spent with my 23-year-old son. Very informative and located in a corner of Kyoto to discover! We were delighted with this experience.

We loved it!
It is very educational and interactive! We learned samurai history, how to use a sword and how to do moves in Kendo! We got to “fight”, and take a bunch of pictures and videos.

Great experience.
Taka, the trainer, was fantastic. Great experience! If you come to Lyoto, don’t miss this. Very worth while.

Highly Recommend!!
Highly recommend! My teenage sons and husband loved this experience. They said it would be hard for kids under 10. In an historical neighborhood, so get there early to make sure you can find the house.

Fun kendo experience for the family!
We had a great time with a multi generational family of all ages! Taka, the instructor, was so fun and informative. He really made the experience interactive and kept us laughing! The location is a bit out of the way, but worth it! Highly recommend!
