About the place

Experience the samurai experience in a museum-like place with lots of armor on display! You will choose your favorite kimono and hakama, change into a samurai costume, and learn how to use a sword from a samurai. You will learn how to draw a sword, hold a sword, swing a sword, and retract a sword. After learning basic sword usage, they practice a simple chambara (sword fight). Then we will try to exterminate bad guys to the music! You can take videos with your smart phone, take pictures with the samurai, and have a great samurai time. The teachers are authentic teachers who have appeared in major Japanese dramas and movies. Since you have come all the way to Japan on a trip, you will have a wonderful experience of Samurai culture! The dojo has many weapons on display, including swords and spears. You will also find armor on display. Samurais are waiting for you in a space that does not seem modern. ・One person can also join the tour. ・Same-day reservations are also possible.

This really was the BEST...
The Samurai Experience exceeded every expectation we had! Our entire family had an amazing time—honestly, it ended up being one of our favorite activities in all of Tokyo. The instructors were fantastic, the atmosphere was authentic, and the kids were completely obsessed with learning real samurai moves using the katana. We had so much fun and made memories we’ll never forget. Highly, highly recommend!
