“We had such a fantastic time visiting the Samurai Museum with Ken (I think!) as our guide. The visit was super engaging and fun for the kids — they were captivated from start to finish — and we adults also learned a lot along the way. The format was just right: not too short, not too long, and really well balanced. Even though we were part of a big group, Ken managed it perfectly so that everyone felt included and comfortable. Highly recommended!”

“It was absolutely wonderful. Sumida sensei and his team were great instructors. We got more than we were expecting and learned a lot about samurai and got to train like one ourselves. I would absolutely recommend this experience!”

“So much fun! You definitely get to learn techniques and about the swords themselves. Then at the end you get to put some of your skills to the test! Can’t recommend this enough if you are really into being a samurai!”

“So much fun! We had an absolute blast dressing up and learning how to use Japanese Ninja weapons. We highly recommend adding this to your Kyoto trip”

“Well here we are again. This is my seventh time to visit this show and I mean the number already tells everything I guess. I would visit this show every week if I could. Amazing acting, sound effects, choreography and music makes this the best samurai show in town. I love all the characters and how cool they are. My favorite story is the Spiderwoman and the Butterfly, the Black Fox and obviously Tairo no Masakado story. You can take pictures with the actors after the show and talk to them. This a must see thing in Tokio !!!”

“My husband continues to talk about this experience! He absolutely loved being able to cut the mat, and act as if he were a real samurai! The location is way away from most other things would be the only downside.”

“The whole experience was very interesting. Learn a lot about samouraï and Japanese history. Special thanks to Ryo sensei who was incredible!”

“We had a great time learning about the Samurai and their training. The history of the Samurai and Ninja has always fascinated me since I was a kid.”

“So fun! I am not the most outgoing but they made the whole experience inviting and entertaining. It was suitable for all ages.”

“Sumida Sensei I am grateful for you taking the time out of your day to teach me about the history of a samurai, but creating one in me. Sumida Sensei is a genuine man, and a warrior. When taking his class as a martial artist myself I could feel the passion resonating off of him. He genuinely CARES not just about his class, but his actual heritage as well. He is kind, understanding, patient, with a playful side to him. I can tell that he is very knowledgeable in the way of the sword, and I hope to train under him for years to come. Thank you Sensei With Gratitude…”

“I appreciated the patience the Sensei had with each of us as well as the information and background about Kendo that was given.”

“It was a great time learning about Kendo as well as its techniques. We had a very enjoyable time and appreciated the chance to apply what we had learnt in a light spar.”

“Kendo experience was fun. The teachers were engaging and they were enthusiastic. Highly recommend this unique experience.”

“It was absolutely amazing! It was a great experience for my partner and I. I would definitely do it again! They were very accommodating and friendly and made me feel at home”

“Brilliant experience. The instructors were very friendly and welcoming imparting their knowledge of Kendo. A truly memorable experience.”
