Tóquio: Experiência Samurai com Opção de Espadas Reais

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

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

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!

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

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 experience was truly one in a lifetime. My friends and I really enjoyed ourselves. The training lesson was fun, and the instructors were very friendly. Our guide met us at the pick-up station, and we walked to the training facility while exploring parts of the city. I will do this activity again.

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.

Tuvimos un tiempo increíble y nos divertimos mucho aprendiendo sobre la historia, la cultura, las habilidades con la espada, la caligrafía y el té. El instructor fue genial y su ayudante también. Recuerdos inolvidables gracias a estos dos.

Una experiencia bien organizada que se sintió muy considerada. El instructor explicó claramente los principios detrás del kata samurái y las técnicas de espada, y la caligrafía y la ceremonia del té añadieron un contexto significativo. Tranquila, informativa y vale la pena hacerla si estás interesado en la cultura tradicional japonesa.
