This was a stand out experience in Japan. I looked at a lot of different Samurai/Katana experiences in Kyoto and there's a lot of choice, however, this is the real deal. Sensei and his team were brilliant, with some genuine training exercises and then the opportunity to handle and chop a tatami mat (6 times) with a genuine katana. If you want the real thing then this is the place to go. Arigato sensei!

Actual samurai training in an authentic Japanese dojo. I booked this particular activity because of how genuine it looked, and I’m so happy we did. Initially it seemed somewhat intimidating but the instructor was personable and encouraging and I ended up loving every minute of it. The sensei speaks Japanese and English however there is also an interpreter alongside the sensei to help. They do a great job and my 12 year old son also enjoyed the entire experience. An added perk is that they give you some local history and background of the Samurai. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants an experience that feels a little off the beaten track and a lot of fun. We hope to make it back for an actual class at the dojo in future visits to Kyoto.
