Reviews
it was a one of a kind experience 10/10. would 100% recommend for anyone who is a fan of Japanese culture. From the intricate history of the samurai to understanding kanji. it was explained with heart and you could tell. the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. made the whole experience even better. shout out to Yuto for being patient with us and walking us through the whole experience making it even better. Alisar as well for supporting Yuto in making this experience one to remember. definitely a childhood dream fulfilled!!!
What an amazing experience. I learned a lot about the samurai culture and I loved dressing up as a samurai. I literally lived my samurai dream. The staff were amazing, and all my friends and family loved the photos. I would definitely recommend this experience.
All the stated services were provided, and there was even support in Russian. People on the street were thrilled.
Authentic samurai armour and excellent guidance for the calligraphy. Plenty of photo opportunities and great staff.
the experience was amazing, the guide explained everything very well, all the staff are very kind and polite and very sweet. the armor was awesome, we got to wear it and move around in open near the stream of water. we also did calligraphy
it’s a very good experience, if you are with children, they are very attentive and careful. we had the opportunity to make our own fan, and since was raining we make another activity goshuin book. my son loved it
Very fun! Very informative! I loved wearing the real armor and taking great pictures. The matcha was very tasty and fun to learn the proper ceremony for! The staff were all very friendly and great conversationalists, Their Englishwas also phenomenal which made the whole experience easy and fun. A great experience for tourists!
we really enjoyed the whole experience: wearing the real samurai costume, the matcha, the writing, the walking and the photoshoot. They explain the story and the purpose of the samurai which makes more sense to the whole experience. The staff is pretty kind and attentive and we felt very welcomed. I definitely recommend the experience to everybody coming to Japan.
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.
