This is a must-do experience for anyone that wants to learn about samurai.
This was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. The staff was friendly, spoke great English, and was very knowledgeable.
My father and I opted for the full lesson with costumes, and had a great, fun time. The costumes were gorgeous and we were able to take a lot of pictures.
I really can't say enough good things about this place, you should go and experience it for yourself!

Awesome!
Today's samurai class was an absolutely amazing experience.
We were dressed up as Samurai and learnt sword striking techniques.
At the end of the class we even performed and recorded an exert from a famous Japanese poem - great memory!
You should definitely book the full class.
