Tóquio: Experiência Samurai com Opção de Espadas Reais

instructor: we had an amazing sensi naoto experience: what a wonderful experience to lean basic samurai class for beginners

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Una experiencia samurái inolvidable, verdaderamente única en su clase. Si estás visitando Japón y buscas algo más allá del turismo típico, Shidenryu es una visita obligada. Desde el momento en que llegué, fui recibido con una calidez genuina. El equipo siente una profunda pasión por preservar la cultura samurái, y esa pasión se siente en cada momento. El entrenamiento fue tanto físicamente exigente como profundamente significativo. La instrucción fue paciente, clara y alentadora; esta es una experiencia auténtica dirigida por personas que han dedicado sus vidas a este arte. Me fui con recuerdos increíbles y un profundo respeto por la tradición marcial japonesa. El tipo de experiencia que te acompaña mucho después de regresar a casa. Al equipo, gracias de todo corazón. ¡Espero verlos de nuevo algún día!

This was a last-minute booking for me, but if I had known the experience and the kindness I would receive, I would have made sure to include it in my itinerary. Instructor Hiryu Shiden was very detailed, and you could tell he truly wanted you to experience the samurai spirit. This is an experience everyone who comes to Japan should have!

experience: This by far was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. The chance to live out my samurai dreams whilst entertaining a 17 year old, perfect!

This was a truly special experience. I was able to have a one-on-one experience and immerse myself in an authentic samurai experience.

Una experiencia increíble! Participé el 20 de julio y me encantó cada minuto. Los instructores fueron amables, conocedores y apasionados por la cultura japonesa y el espíritu samurái. El entrenamiento fue divertido, fácil de seguir y adecuado para principiantes. Fue mucho más que aprender movimientos de espada; fue una oportunidad para experimentar la tradición, la disciplina y el respeto. ¡Altamente recomendado para cualquiera que busque una experiencia única y auténtica en Japón!

Great experience that is unique and probably cannot get anywhere else. We stayed in Japan for a month and did ALL the things - Kyoto, Hakone, TeamLabs, DisneySea, Ramen making, Wagashi making, etc. EVERYONE in our family ranked this in their top 1 or 2 things on the trip - our daughters are 14 and 12 and loved it, too!

This is an amazing experience not to be missed! We did quite a few whilst in Japan for three weeks and this was by far the best. Hiryu and his colleague were perfect hosts. Hiryu took us through the techniques of using a Samurai Sword, the right way to sheath and unsheath and following that he granted us the special opportunity to cut bamboo with a 700 year old Samurai sword. It was unreal.

It’s quite unusual to be able to handle a centuries-old katana. Here we were able to use one for tameshigiri, a chance I could not pass up. Our class today was small so we had plenty of time; even a 13-year-old was able to follow along and succeed, thanks to the great instruction and the sword’s own weighty “presence.” As for the calligraphy, I had forgotten how tough it is to write well with ink and brush, yikes! I’m glad they let me practice first. The tea was lovely. Learned a lot and had a great time. PS. We had a moment of panic at the meet-up location, but we were able to call the staff (check the email) and sort everything out.

We had a lot of fun. It was interesting to learn about the samurai and their culture and experience the training they had to go through. After the samurai experience, we learned about making tea and how to serve it to our guests. We even got a small paper explaining it in case we forgot something. They even paid for the taxi because it was too hot.
