If your goal is just cosplay, this isn’t for you. This is where samurai train mind and body — a place of strength in Bushido. Here, you’ll take your first true step as a samurai.

Kendo means “the way of the sword” in Japanese. It began as the samurai’s method of training in sword combat, wearing armor and striking with bamboo swords. In the world of the samurai, where a blink could mean death, even the slightest disturbance of the mind was fatal — so they trained the mind as well.

You’ll begin with an introduction to kendo’s history, philosophy, and rules. Learn proper etiquette, then train in the three key elements of kendo: spirit, sword, and body in unison. Practice striking techniques, step into real sparring matches, and witness the instructor’s master-level skills in a true kendo bout.

This is for those who truly wish to take their first step toward becoming a samurai.

Every step into this dojo is a step into the way of the warrior — awaken your Strength in Bushido.

This was a really great experience! Not only do you learn the basics of Kendo, but you also learn some of the history behind it. Everything was as described in the breakdown, and I was even provided with a participation certificate, photos, and a small gift! I'm not an athletic person, and my stamina is very low, so I was a bit worried about taking this class, but Daichi and Makoto were both very accommodating and kind, so I was able to enjoy the class even with these limitations.

An excellent 2-hour session with Daichi - a 3rd Dan Kenod master. Very informative, stepping us through the key elements of Kendo: history, greetings, uniform, equipment, and movements. It all culminated in a sparring session with the master, followed by watching the two masters show how it's really done to complete the whole Kendo experience. Indeed, a great workout with sweat guaranteed!
It was an unforgettable, family‑friendly experience

This was an absolutely amazing experience for both me and my 9‑year‑old son. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and respectful to all participants, making us feel truly included. It was far more than just a tourist attraction. We especially valued the chance to train in full armor — both physically and mentally — combined with fascinating insights into Japanese culture, samurai traditions, and kendo. Without a doubt, one of the best experiences we’ve had in Japan. Fully deserving of five stars!

We booked this activity to live it with friends and it exceeded our expectations:) a theoretical then practical part with detailed steps, we know exactly what to do step by step The team is very attentive and friendly, we enjoyed sharing together The place is also beautiful, the dojo is spacious! It was a lot of fun to dress up in the traditional outfit but we felt it was authentic. I really felt the involvement of the team, everything was very well organized and the fact that it was in a small group makes the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you again for this unforgettable moment!
