What to expect
Become a samurai in central Tokyo—one of the most exciting Things to Do in Tokyo.
In a traditional dojo, change into kimono and hakama, then learn etiquette (bowing, sitting, respectful sword handling) and simple footwork with an expert instructor—perfect for beginners. Practice photo-ready, stage-style moves, then try supervised target cutting with a real katana, feeling the blade’s weight and the focus of a clean cut.
Small groups mean personal coaching. Staff will take professional photos throughout. Safety is strict: prepared targets, controlled setting, and clear instructions. Recommended for ages 12+.








Reviews
Since the experience is quite expensive, we were expecting a high level of service. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The person we met with at McDonald's seemed to be in a hurry, and the meeting itself started a bit late. Throughout the entire experience, everything felt rushed, which made it difficult to fully enjoy or appreciate it. We were also offered matcha tea, and we were told that it had just arrived from Kyoto the day before. However, as we are quite familiar with matcha, we could tell that the quality was not high. This made the offering feel misleading and not good value for money. Overall, we feel quite disappointed with the experience, especially considering the price we paid.
