An experience I could never forget
Genuine some of the most kind hearted and genuine people who just want to make sure you have fun and get the right shots for memories
Very fun and they do an amazing job to bridge the language gap.
It was intimate and knowledgeable. There weren’t other strangers with us which really made it that much more special
The town it is in is beautiful as well
If you have the day to spend this is the place to spend it.

Fantastic experience!
Amazing demonstration and hands-on teaching from a true expert. My family and I had so much fun. Learning about Bushido from someone so knowledgeable was a great adventure. We highly recommend this activity! (Masks in the photos are for online privacy only, masks not required here)

Must try!! Way more fun than you think it is
So much fun, well worth it! My partner and I were the only ones in class, it felt like a private experience. The instructor was very friendly and hospitable. They dress you in traditional clothes and serve tea. The best part was cutting to cut the tatami with a real katana!. They were gracious enough to let me keep trying until I successfully cut it (5 times haha). My boyfriend was more skilled, he was able to cut it on first try and then learn 2 more advanced techniques.
We were able to take as many photos and videos as we wanted. They use a translator device which made asking questions and conversing with them easy.

Samurai and Bushido Experience
It was my first time wearing a kimono and I felt like a samurai. It was so much fun! It's hard to put on a kimono, but they helped me out so I was able to. During the samurai experience, I was able to hold a real sword and make some cool poses, so it was really exciting. The tea I had after the experience was also delicious. I was reminded once again how deep Japanese culture is. It was a really good experience.
