Itinerário
O Templo Zenkoji é um dos mais antigos e venerados templos budistas do Japão. Por mais de 1.400 anos, pessoas de todo o país vieram aqui rezar, refletir, ou simplesmente mergulhar em sua atmosfera pacífica. O templo Zenkoji também abriga uma das estátuas budistas mais antigas do Japão, que se acredita ter chegado da Índia há séculos. A abordagem ao Zenkoji faz parte da experiência. Revestido de pousadas tradicionais, lojas pitorescas e cafés aconchegantes, convida os visitantes a ficar e participar da atmosfera local.
Localizado a 5 minutos a pé da Porta Niomon encontra-se uma sala de estilo tradicional Japonês onde você entrará no passado. Aqui, um mestre samurai instrutor irá ensinar-lhe os fundamentos do katana de manuseio e postura - enfatizando graça, disciplina e diversão! Vestido em sua própria roupa de estilo samurai, incluindo yukata (kimono leve), calças hakama e espada, você vai bater poses, aprender posições de ataque e defesa. Todos os níveis são bem-vindos, e a experiência é construída em torno de prazer e auto-expressão.

This is an unbelievable tour , our guide Graeme was incredible, his knowledge was second to none and everything was explained in extensive detail. This tour included plenty of food specific to the region in the lead up to the temple. Our Samurai was amazingly skilled and took the time ro really go over every single movement and allowing time to perfect it. All together this is extraordinary, would recommend to anyone
Thank you for your kind words! We are very pleased to hear that you had a pleasant time on your tour and experience. We strive to provide the fun experience accompanied with deep knowledge and the attention to detail you mention here. Thank you for recommending us to others, and we hope to see you again in Nagano someday!
I had an absolutely fantastic time. The tour with Tom was insightful and very informative. The samurai experience also very fun and I learned some basic sword movements. Personally for me it was a real eye opener. Sensei was great and very knowledgeable. I 100% recommend this tour and experience to anyone with an interest in Japanese history. Totally worth the money.
Thank you very much for the great review and the recommendation! We are happy to hear that you had a fantastic time and that your tour was interesting. It is wonderful that you enjoyed learning how to use a katana at the Samurai experience, as well. We are happy to know that you felt the tour was worth it and hope that your memories last a lifetime!
Amazing experience, our guide Kei was amazing. We experienced the Zenkoji temple, learn their customs and managed to catch an ongoing ceremony, then went on to sample the famous matcha icecream and try out different sake at the local brewery. The best part was learning samurai moves. How to draw your swords, attack and block in the full outfit. An experienced samurai master he made us travel back in time, we felt grand as samurai and are grateful for this wonderful experience which would not have been possible without our wonderful guide Kei. The best way to learn and appreciate culture with a local! Arigato gosaimasu Kei
Thank you so much for your kind review! We are very pleased to hear that you saw a ceremony at Zenkoji! As you said, the Samurai Experience makes you step back in time and enjoy the culture of Japan not just as it is today, but as well as the depth of culture we have spanning different time periods. We are very happy knowing that you had a fun and fulfilling day with us. We hope to see you in Nagano again someday!
Highly recommend!! The samurai experience was amazing - Kei sensei is a very kind, fun and detailed teacher. I really appreciated his willingness to review the specifics of each move and take the time to help me perfect the different movements covered in the class. It was such a cool and fun experience! And the location is great too. Tucked away in an old house, you really feel like you go back in time. My guide Tom was incredibly knowledge about the temple and history of the area (and all Japan!), which was a huge plus since this was my first stop on my trip. He taught me the significance of the various Shinto/Buddhist gods and even made time to show me how the temple stamps/goshuin work. He even went above and beyond by providing recs for the best oyaki buns in the city, transportation advice, and even provided insider recs for the rest of my time in Japan. So grateful!! Would honestly do this again if I come back to the area in the future (gotta further hone my samurai skills and show Kei sensei how much I’ve improved with more practice ;) ).
Thank you for joining us! Kei sensei takes samurai training seriously, and it sounds like he gave you the focus you needed to work through the movements. The old house does help set the right atmosphere. Our guides enjoy guiding people through Zenkoji and putting the temple into context, especially when it's your first stop in Japan. Glad the oyaki and goshuin recommendations worked out. We appreciate you sharing all this. We'd be happy to have you back for another session with Kei sensei. Safe travels, and hope the rest of your trip went well.
