Unforgettable experience

Koshiro is a person of great friendliness and remarkable kindness. We had an absolutely wonderful time in his company. He passionately helped us discover the history of the samurai as well as that of the temple, by sharing many fascinating anecdotes. With patience and pedagogy, Koshiro introduced us to the basics of the art of the samurai. He also took the time to film us so that we could keep a memory of this unique experience. An unforgettable moment in his dojo, which we recommend without the slightest hesitation!

Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique commentaire ! Ce fut un véritable plaisir de vous accueillir, vous et votre famille, au temple Harusame-dera. Je suis très heureux que vous ayez apprécié non seulement l'entraînement des samouraïs, mais aussi l'histoire du temple et de la culture japonaise. Merci également pour votre gentillesse et votre enthousiasme tout au long de l'expérience. J'espère avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau au Japon. Avec toute ma gratitude, Koshiro Minamoto
