Amazing samurai...
Amazing samurai experience! We came as a group of 8 and the whole session was rich, fulfilling, and left us wanting more. The two instructors worked seamlessly together — patient, passionate, and highly interactive throughout, with so much energy and professionalism. And they were incredibly cool! Through this experience, we truly felt the spirit of traditional Japanese culture. It was deeply meaningful. Highly recommended for any foreign traveler visiting Tokyo — absolutely worth it!

Samurai experience
We enjoyed it very much. The instructors made the experience fun while conveying the basics of what must be a very difficult discipline. Recommended.

Start time confusion leads to disappointment
The start time is not implicit on the ticket nor on the bookings page on Viator. The add to calendar link on Viator apparently went to the default setting of 12 noon. As a result we were late and missed out on the experience, which my family was really looking forward to and paid more than $600 for. In fairness, the initial confirmation we got weeks ago did say that it started at 10:30 AM. But on the day of, the ticket doesn't have the time on it, and the add to calendar feature defaults to an incorrect time.

Really fun!
Everyone was super kind and helpful! They helped you dress in the kimono and the taught us how to draw and replace the katana, and then we had a movie fight which was super fun! I'd definitely recommend.

Get your Samurai face on!
This was a professional samurai sword class. We arrived, and they dressed us in our practice samurai kimonos. The swords were metal and heavy but not sharp on the side. We learned basic moves and then a full fighting move. The instruction was great. They were careful and thoughtful. We were hesitant because it had few reviews but so thankful we booked it! It was an historical activity highlight. Book it!!
