Vé di động
The spirit of Japan endures in Samurai. We define Samurai not as a swordsman, but as one who carries the sword with the heart. Be Samurai. Only then does the true Japan appear.
◉Why Kendo?
Kendo is not a sport born from modern design.
It is a living tradition shaped by samurai to survive, transformed to preserve Bushido, and passed down through the body, generation after generation.
It is still practiced today because its spirit is still needed.
Bushido lives on, in its purest form, through Kendo.
◉Who this experience is for
This experience is for those who are curious about Japan beyond the surface.
For those who value discipline, respect, and meaning over entertainment.
For those who want to experience the spirit of Bushido through their body, not just hear about it.
You don’t need kendo experience.
You do need an open mind and a willingness to face yourself.

Cần Quan Tâm
You don’t start by holding a sword. You start by understanding where kendo comes from, and why the spirit of Japan lives within it. Etiquette and Respect Before training, you calm your mind and bow. Not as a formality, but as a way to face others with respect. Ki – Spirit You learn how samurai express their presence and fighting spirit, not through anger, but through focused intent. Tai – Body You practice traditional footwork that keeps the body grounded, balanced, and ready. Ken – Sword Only then do you learn how to hold the sword, how to swing it, and how to move with it. Ki-Ken-Tai-Itchi Spirit, sword, and body come together. This is the foundation of a true samurai strike. Match You put everything into practice in a real kendo match. Those with courage may challenge a veteran kendo instructor and feel the pressure up close. Demonstration Watch an intense match between instructors and witness the power and control of real kendo. Closing Etiquette After training together, everyone bows once more, carrying respect until the very end.

5.00The experience was wonderful. They're English was good and the sword play was worth it! The only caviate I can say is that to get all the videos and pictures you need to leave a 5 star review.

5.00This was a fun experience. A nice break from all the sightseeing to do something more active. Daichi and Makoto were great at explaining and teaching Kendo techniques and the mental/spiritual aspect of Kendo. There’s a chance to spar with other participants and the instructor at the end of the session. A very enjoyable, unique, and authentic experience! More details: level of activity is light, kendo armor/uniform is provided, there’s a changing area if you want to bring a change of clothes (we brought an extra shirt but didn’t need it). Water is provided as well but you can bring your own if you want.

5.00I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband and it was 100% worth it. He managed to get a 1 on 1 class with the instructors and was able to spend the whole time practicing. They were both very knowledgeable and patient, even with a loud baby shouting along. The sparring was so fun to watch and my husband enjoyed every second of it. Great work out and great entertainment for those watching.
Beginner Friendly Kendo Experience!

5.00Please don’t skip this one! Absolutely phenomenal experience, and one of my all time favorite things to have done while traveling, and I travel a lot :) Daichi and Makoto are incredibly knowledgeable, kind, encouraging, and fun. They are themselves skilled kendo practitioners from childhood, and their love for kendo is reflected in their program that they’ve meticulously crafted. You get a seamless blend of cultural learning and firsthand practice/experience with very careful (and high energy) instruction. Bonus: they also take amazing photos to help document memories, and this makes for a great workout to complement all the good food in Tokyo
Well worth the time, learn kendo!

5.00A fascinating 2 hours learning the basics of Kendo. Daishi was a wonderful sensei who taught myself and one other student in a well structured and methodical way building up our technique so that we could apply it in a sparring match at the end of the class. I highly recommend the experience considering how unique it is to do this in the heart of Japan!
