AWESOME - The experience was amazing! All the staff were really friendly and kind. I had so much fun I wish it to be longer. Can't expect that learning a sword art and archery would be this fun

It was a great experience! - This was hands down one of the most unforgettable activities I've done in Japan. As soon as you step into the space, it feels like you've time-traveled to the age of the samurai. The instructors were incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, guiding us through the basics of kyūdō (Japanese archery) and sword techniques with real attention to detail. Totally worth the price. Highly recommended for travelers!

Samurai experience is must ✴️ - It was definitely a wonderful experience, and I was so happy to learn about Japan's history. The quiz about Hideyoshi was perfectly executed and provided a lot of knowledge about him and the samurai's past. Other than the samurai history, the most captivating parts were wearing the samurai costume and practicing Yumi-ya (弓矢). Although it was my first time holding a bow and arrows, thank you for your patience and teaching. Furthermore, it was really fun having conversations with each of you in both Japanese and English. Thanks again for this wonderful experience.
