Samurai sword experience

Paul_A, Sep 2025

Authentic, interactive, exciting, fun. We got to go into the Master’s home and be taught how to use authentic weapons.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It is both a challenge and a great joy for us to help our international guests experience and understand the richness of Japanese culture. We know it's not easy to go beyond just scratching the surface and truly grasp the spirit that flows within our traditions, but we will continue to do our best. We hope you'll come back and enjoy other aspects of Japanese culture on your next visit! Your friend Miyuki
