Samuraikokemus Kumamotossa

very good experience. a very good English translator all the way during the activity. got to know a lot about the history and the culture of masashi. able to practice a bit of moves. very fruitful overall.

To Anyone going to Japan, this will most defnitely be the best and most interactive personal Samurai experience. It is the highlight of our entire Japan trip. You will have a wondeful English interpreter and an excelent master.

Place was a little hard to find but still ok. It’s about 5 min walk from tram station, JR station is very far away. It was fun and the instructors were very friendly. Direct disciple descendants of miyamoto musashi, 18th generation. Definitely want to return again, price seems a little expensive if done in a group. But i was alone so attention of 2 trainers to 1 customer is worth the price.

I cannot stress this enough, this is a MUST DO if you decide to visit Kumamoto! On the surface level it seems like just an “oh cool I get to swing a sword” kind of experience but it is so much more than that. Learning about Miyamoto Musashi, what it means to be a samurai, and the meanings behind the movements and styles of iaido make for a complete cultural immersion to Kumamoto and Japan as a whole. This is all not even mentioning the fact that the Sensei’s are amazing and helpful never making you feel out of place! Go go go!

It was a great and meaningful cultural immersion in Kumamoto offering a combination of history and practical experience. You will learn about Iaido and have the oppurtunity to practice one of its movements. By the end of the experience, we left having improved both our minds and spirits. The senseis were very accomodating and understanding. They were observant and adjusted their teaching style to match our individual challenges. They never made us feel like we were struggling, even with the difficulties involved in learning what they taught. This is a must-do for any history or culture buff.

This experience was such a unique experience. I had looked at several other samurai experiences prior to going to Japan and they all felt super cheesy. This one felt really authentic. We had a chance to really learn about the history and focus of the practice itself, not just dress up in costumes. It isn't cheap, but I do think there is enough value for the money - also having a 1 on 1 experience always costs more and in this case i think was key to enjoying the activity.

一開始以為很簡單的拔刀和收刀就夠你練的了！ 但因為是體驗課，所以不要求到完美 流程完整比較重要 練習了一套招式 了解了宮本武藏和二天一流的歷史 還有太多有趣的事情 熊本果然是武士之都
