What to expect
What is an Iaito? An Iaito is a specialized practice sword used in the Japanese martial art of Iaido (the art of drawing the sword).
An Iaito is a specialized practice sword used in the Japanese martial art of Iaido (the art of drawing the sword). While it looks nearly identical to a real Japanese sword (Shinken), it is specifically designed to be non-sharpened for safety during training.
Most Iaito are crafted from a high-quality zinc-aluminum alloy. This material is intentionally used because it cannot hold a sharp edge, meaning it is not classified as a weapon under Japanese law and does not require a permit.
Put on traditional samurai attire, learn real katana techniques from expert instructors, and try your hand at ninja star throwing






Reviews
The check in was super organized and simple. Koki was an awesome samurai teacher! I learned a lot and it was a fun experience at the same time.
I really enjoyed this activity. Special thanks to Kenny for slotting me in last minute. ✨
Highly recommend this tour with the sword lesson. The museum tour is very insightful and you learn a lot about the history of samuri. The sword lesson with the sensei is very in depth. We really enjoyed and appreciated the tour.
Our sensei Ryo-san was absolutely fantastic. He led both a very informative as well as fun Samurai experience. I sadly wasn't able to join the museum tour as I needed to go to the airport, but I have done it at the Kyoto museum and know how much I would have enjoyed it once more.
I booked the Samurai and Ninja Experience, which included a museum tour. I didn't have any particular expectations beforehand, but I have to say it was a ton of fun. The guides on site speak incredibly good English, and the training session with Sensei Ryo, who showed us a sword sequence, was fantastic. He had everyone laughing with his sense of humor. I would book it again anytime, thank you!
Great experience, well organized and excellent guides. It was a good mix of historical knowledge, charmingly presented and interactive participation. Top-notch.
Koki was a great instructor. He was funny and taught us the way of a samurai well. I loved the experience. Thank you everyone involved.
Was very fun, also the ninja experience was big bonus. The instructor Kenny was very friendly and made the session very fun.
Koko & Betty were such a great instructors. very patient and interacted with us well. step by step. would highly recommend!
The venue was great at balancing the educational side of samurai and ninja but also the fun side; the shuriken throwing and sword practice was a highlight. Kenny was a fantastic and entertaining instructor and made the experience very rewarding. I would recommend
