Samurai Training Experience KENDO in Osaka

An awesome experience~ the coache is well experienced in the martial art, very calm and patient with the students in class! not only will travelers be experiencing and practicing the arts but you will get a very informed little course about the history and reasons for Kendo~ equipments are provided with great safety measures and guidance. learn the basics and practice it in matches. most importantly worth experiencing it, and have fun~!

Wonderful experience from start till finish. I was so lucky that I was the only participant for the time slot I had booked, which meant I got to practice directly with the kendo expert himself. He was both patient and encouraging, which was a big confidence boost when trying something completely new. It's a couple that runs this training experience, and they were both so warm and accommodating, even providing me with tips for eating places to fit my allergy concerns.

This experience tought me a lot about Kendo techniques and etiquette. A must do (not only) for all martial arts fans! You will learn basic Kendo techniques and etiquette and even spar towards the end. This will out your reflexes and wit to the test.

Unique experience that I so highly recommended. The instructor is patient and makes it fun. Most memorable of all my Japan experiences.

A formidable experience. A very warm welcome from the master and his assistants, all of whom were very attentive and good listeners. Lots of kindness and goodwill. Some training exercises and real fights. In addition to that, we were treated to a small combat demonstration between the master and one of his students. A truly excellent experience, everyone loved it. Both adults and children!

Had an amazing experience with Kendo training! The instructor was very friendly, patient, and professional, and explained everything clearly. It was challenging but really enjoyable, and I learned a lot about Kendo and Japanese culture. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and exciting experience in Japan! 🥋🇯🇵

Toshi was an amazing instructor and gave my session a fantastic experience on the art of kendo and we were also taught the history of kendo along with what it meant to be a samurai. Would highly recommend this experience for anybody looking to try a kendo experience in Osaka.

We were slightly late to our class as we were lost in traffic, however, they were very gracious once we arrived and got us dressed quickly to join in the class. You learned many skills and drills on using a sword and the ways of the samurai. I really enjoyed the sparring in the end, plus I enjoyed the workout it gave me. They offered us a snack and a tea in the end. Overall, fabulous experience and would definitely recommend.

It was our first time to try Kendo and Master Toshi made it a memorable one for us. It was a wonderful experience - From the extensive knowledge about the history of Kendo that his wife shared with us; to the interaction and practical experiences, all were amazing! Master Toshi was also very patient in guiding us through the whole session and giving us constant encouragement made a difference. Overall, my partner and I had a great time and it’s definitely one of our best experiences during our time in Japan. For those who haven’t tried Kendo before and would like to make your trip a special one, we highly recommend this place and you would not regret it! P.S: thanks Toshi’s wife for the amazing photoshoot as well as to both of your suggestions in the ramen place! It was fantastic! 😮‍💨

HIGHLY recommend this experience. It was definitely one of the best highlights of our trip to Osaka. It suits all ages - lots of fun but also learn a lot. The team is really great and take amazing photos. Book soon before tickets run out!!
