Really friendly staff and an amazing experience! This 2hr journey was unforgettable, holding a 130 year old real samurai sword and actually cutting into a large tatami mat with it is a must. Wearing the traditional samurai outfit through out made it even more unique and especially as this old tradition and skill is no longer practiced in Japan and is getting forgotten with the generations, a real shame. To top it off the location is an actual samurai house with an amazing history, a unique find! Thank you for the knowledge and unforgettable experience.
