We love seeing all the amazing sites around Japan but nothing beats an experience like this where you get hands on instruction and are immersed in the Samurai culture. Exceedingly well done. Instructors and masters were excellent.

It was a great honor to meet the master swordsman, appreciate his skills, enjoy the experience of handling a katana and cutting, and also enjoy staying in a historical Samurai house and playing an old drum.

Very informative and fun! We got to meditate, learn history of the house and samurai, try tea and a sweet, and cut things! It was very encompassing and ticked a lot of our boxes!

Fun opportunity to learn a bit about samurai history! I enjoyed the history of the house, getting to wear traditional clothing, meditation practice, and of course trying my hand at a proper katana strike! Definitely a unique experience.
