Step into the Samurai world! Wear a suit made by a modern master and feel the warrior spirit.
Start with calligraphy. Write your name in Kanji on a "Gunsen" (war fan), yours to keep as a souvenir.
Next, watch a cinematic video among 20+ genuine Samurai armors, some centuries old. Then, enjoy a serene Matcha tea ceremony in this historic setting—an exclusive experience.
Finally, let out a "Kachidoki" (war cry) and march to the historic Sanjo Bridge for a photoshoot. Digital photos are included.
Our staff is fluent in English, ensuring a smooth experience. Armor and souvenirs are also available for purchase. Join us for an unforgettable adventure!
Reviews
Authentic samurai armour and excellent guidance for the calligraphy. Plenty of photo opportunities and great staff.
Even though we are Japanese, we had an absolute blast!! My boyfriend was a bit shy at first, but ended up having a great time too. It was a wonderful experience!
very immersive safe and overall amazing experience. We unfortunately had shown up late and were worked with no complaints and was offered to do the whole tour a lil later. The armor was super cool to put on and the walk wasn’t too long and was cool to see how maneuverable the armor was. The staff were super helpful putting in the armor and seemed to take a lot of pride in what they do which was really cool. overall an amazing experience definitely recommend.
My Fiancé and I had an amazing day here! everyone here is soo kind and they make sure to give you an authentic experience of feeling like a true samurai! Whether you are a girl or boy it doesn’t matter, I definitely recommend giving this once in a lifetime opportunity! And don’t worry if you don’t know much about it either because they give you the beautiful history behind it all. 10/10 definitely coming back here when we get to come back to Japan !!
Was a rare experience and thoroughly enjoyable one. armor was cool to wear and they are very good and ensuring you enjoy the experience and have photos to take home
amazing experience - this is a very hands on experience. makes you truly experience the samurai life. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering activities in Kyoto.
Had a blast doing this! Fun and interactive activity to do, we were a group of 4 friends. The hosts were absolutely fantastic, and the selection of wearable armor was good!
The staff are very friendly and had a great laugh with them walking around the streets and posing in Samurai outfits
where do I even bigin! it was absolutely amazing and would definitely recommend coming here, the staff were incredible and they explained everything in detail!! if I ever come back to Japan I would 10000% come here and do it again
I really enjoyed my time at the Kyoto Samuri Walk. Thanks to our tour guide Alisar, I learned a lot about the history and I’d definitely recommend this as a much try in Kyoto
