    Super fun experience!! They are very patient with everyone and explain everything in great detail. Highly recommended!

    We had a terrific experience as samurai for the day – at least a few hours. The instructors were very good and patient and all the students were able to learn to use the katana. We even left more relaxed after an ending meditation session.

    If you have extra time in Kyoto, it was a fun and educational activity. The kids enjoyed using a real sword!

  4. Rich_D

    I would have to say this is one of my favorite things we did on our trip to Japan. Historically informative. Fun and exhilarating to learn and handle a Katana.

  5. Stuart_D

    Fun experience with the family – something a bit unusual. The team there were great , very friendly and made the whole think special.

  6. Luke_M

    Good fun and a unique experience being able to use a real samurai sword and meditation afterwards. Would recommend if you visit Kyoto.

    This was an unforgettable experience! We were able to learn about the history of Samurai and also have the chance to see a demo as well as try cutting with a Samurai sword ourselves! Would recommend this to anyone who visits Kyoto!

    You get a great history lesson along with an amazing experience! Completely worth it. Came on my birthday with my friends. We were surprised that the house was historically significant as well.

    This was a great experience easy to locate when we went in the staff were nice and talkative had a great engaging talk on the history and then went into the demonstration which was awesome and when the descendants of real samurai spoke Japanese the other staff translated the Japanese to English seamlessly and then we went outside to train the movements which moved onto cutting a tatami mat with a real katana which we were guided through we finished this with meditation, I forgot to mention we wore actual samurai robes which were historically accurate and comfortable as a 13 year old boy this was really fun and I recommend it to anyone with an interest in katanas and Japanese history

    This was our favourite Japan experience – it was incredible to view the Samurai demonstration, learn how to wield a 130+ year old katana (and even slice through a rolled up tatami mat with it!) and participate in the zen meditation. Would highly recommend this.

    The Samurai Experience is a nice change to just walking around. It takes you breafly to agent times and gives the opportunitie to try yourself. Its not hard so don´t be afraid: ))

  16. Luxman_E

    This was one if not the best activity we did in Japan. Great samurai experience in a place like Kyoto.

  17. azzam_A

    All the experience was great! But the most memorable experience will be when we practice with real katana!

  18. Kristen_K

    Great history of the Samurai in a real home. Watching the Samurai demonstration was really exciting! We got to slice the tatami mats multiple times and they took great photos and videos!

  19. Anitya_B

    10/10 experience! It was so cool to get a culture history talk before a demonstration and then jump into the samurai experience. The teachers were awesome and helpful. Would highly recommend!!

    The whole experience was a perfect mix of informative, mesmerising, relaxing and fun. All the staff were friendly, encouraging, knowledgeable and passionate. This is a great experience for tourists whilst being truly authentic. One of our highlights in Kyoto.
