Samurai Training Experience KENDO i Osaka

This was an amazing experience! Worth every penny. You will use official kendo equipment, learn the history of kendo, and even practice the moves. Then at the end, you get to spar your peers and him if you like! Would highly recommend whether you want to learn more of the sword or if you're just looking for a new experience!

One of our favorite experiences in Japan! Toshi and Kumiko were absolutely wonderful. They taught us about the history of the samurai, how Kendo carries on their traditions and values, and the importance of etiquette and respect. We learned so much and had an incredible time! They were especially kind, patient, and encouraging with our two kids, making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Practicing with Toshi was a highlight! Even though he took it easy on us, his speed and skill were amazing to see. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or more wonderful hosts. We will cherish the memories, photos, and videos for years to come. We highly recommend this to anyone visiting Japan looking for a unique, fun, and educational experience!

This was a lot of fun! I learnt some history of the martial art but the workshop/session was the highlight. The instructors always prioritised our safety while facilitating an immersive experience. I felt like a big kid, while learning a few techniques and history too. So much fun!

The instructor and staff was excellent one of the best martial arts experiences I have been . The overall program and teaching is brilliant will definitely go back again . Thank you to amazing staff and team it’s a 5 star amazing experience

Was an excellent event to share with the family, the hosts were fantastic and a lot of fun, a fun afternoon had by all.

Absolutely wonderful experience! The Kendo training was challenging but extremely rewarding. The instruction was very clear, with excellent demonstrations throughout. I particularly enjoyed learning about the history of the samurai, how it connects to Kendo, the respect required when facing an opponent, and how to conduct yourself properly in the dojo. The instructors were warm, welcoming and encouraging, and made the whole experience fantastic. I would highly recommend this to absolutely anyone visiting Osaka, and I would genuinely love the opportunity to participate again.

One of the coolest experiences in Japan. Very good instructor and nice 2 hour program!

Toshi was a funny and experienced instructor. He makes the practice alot more interesting by putting you into the the pressure of the real sparring, including all the ritual of the battle.

Our samurai training experience with Toshi and Kumiko was easily one of the standout activities of our time in Osaka. We did the two-hour experience as a family, and from beginning to end, they were absolutely fantastic. The small-group setting made the entire experience feel personal, interactive, and genuinely special rather than like a typical tourist attraction. We were traveling with our five-year-old son, and I cannot say enough about how incredible Toshi was with him. He was exceptionally patient, took the time to walk him through the instructions step by step, and made sure he felt included throughout the entire experience. Our son was completely engaged and had an absolute blast, which made the experience that much more memorable for all of us. Kumiko was equally wonderful, and together they created such a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for our family. If you’re visiting Osaka and looking for something unique, authentic, and genuinely memorable, I could not recommend this experience more highly. Toshi and Kumiko clearly care about what they do, and that comes through in every part of the experience. One of our favorite activities in Japan and something our family will remember for a very long time. Absolutely deserving of five stars!

I very much enjoyed #Samurai Training Experience KENDO in Osaka. It was such a unique, memorable, and authentic experience, and definitely one of the highlights of my time in Japan. Both of instructors made the experience engaging and enjoyable while giving us a real appreciation for the traditions, discipline, and spirit behind kendo. All required items were offered, and English friendly. I think this is an experience everyone visiting Osaka should try at least once. It’s something completely different from typical sightseeing and gives you a chance to actually learn and participate in an important part of Japanese culture rather than simply observe it.
