A must do when visiting Tokyo. The instructors and centre itself are fantastic. We learned Kyudo and Samurai training for an hour, which was the perfect amount of time to get to grips with the basics. Our boys loved it, and it was fun dressing up in the costumes. All the staff were so kind and knowledgeable, we highly recommend this experience.

Thank you for your wonderful review!
We’re so glad you enjoyed this unique experience and appreciated our staff’s friendliness and patience. It’s fantastic to hear you love your special knife!
BUB Activity Center Asakusa
4 slides to present samurai, Dress up and teach some moves with the sword. Also using the bow and arrow.
I’ve found it really expensive for a mediocre experience. Our 12 year old enjoyed it.
OMG I LOVED IT! I am a solo female traveler and this was honestly the most fun I had in Japan! 😆 I felt so comfortable and excited the whole time. The staff was so friendly, funny, and welcoming! I will definitely do this again next time I come to Japan. I sent my family photos and videos and they were so jealous. They get you in the right attire, give you a history on Japanese ninja/samurai culture, and then teach you how to do archery and sword fight. I cannot express enough how amazing this experience was. Definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity you cannot miss. Book it ASAP! (P.S. Lisa and Joe are great!)
