You can't leave Japan without such a course - It was very interesting! It's not as simple as it looks. I could not hit with the bow, once at 5m distance. Very insightful and interesting Thank you!

Fun memories in Tokyo! - Our family with teens did this training where we were able to use a Japanese bow and wooden katanas. We were given foam katanas and were able to have a very fun and enthusiastic mock battle at the end of the training! The guides were skilled and courteous and allowed us to have fun with all of it also! Highly recommend!

Tokyo Samurai experience - We had a nice time with the samurai experience. The instructors are resourceful and bilingual (good grasp of English speaking skills). It was good experience learning swordsmanship, archery, and understanding the samurai life style. After the program, they provided us tea and coffee as refreshments.

Samurai Experience - It was really fun, at first they will have a lecture about samurai. I love the archery experience too, and the last part is learning the basic steps in using a samurai where you will experience a samurai duel, which is the best part of the activity. I love the experience! ❤️❤️ I highly recommend. ☺️

Samurai experience done right <3 - Oh it was amazing! The only way to define it. We were taught proper sword fighting and archery as done by samurai and it was so fun! Everything happened in English so we could be very proactive and the instructors were so kind! They even gave us a brief presentation about it before beginning which only added to the experience ✨

Was OK… but quite expensive ! - We spend one hour with a very friendly Japanese instructor . Dressed up in black kimonos , got 5 slide presentation on samurai, then some archery and sword fighting instructions…. All in a 100m2 space of an anonymous building . Would be OK-ish at 1/3 of the price but (booked using Viator, 230 gbp for 2 adults and a child !) not at this pricing point. staff was friendly and helpful though

Not worth the money - 4 slides to present samurai, Dress up and teach some moves with the sword. Also using the bow and arrow. I’ve found it really expensive for a mediocre experience. Our 12 year old enjoyed it.
