Samurai Experience in Osaka

"My grandchildren and I had a fabulous time. The lessons were very well explained. The history was also very interesting. We had water breaks after every lessons. The costumes made us feel like real Samurais. The coaches were very pleasant. Meditation was part of the activity which was nice. I highly recommend this learning and fun activity to families. It’s very good for self esteem."

"We had an amazing time doing this Samurai experience in Osaka! It was just me and my son, and it ended up being one of our favorite experiences in Japan. The couple who taught the class were incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. They made us feel comfortable right away and did a great job explaining everything. We got to put on traditional Kendo gear, learn some basic Kendo techniques, and even pose with swords for photos. It was physical to your own comfort level and so much fun! The photos/videos were an especially wonderful part of the experience. They took so many great pictures of us, and the digital photos they sent afterward were **extremely high quality**. We now have beautiful photos that we’ll always have to remember the experience. I highly recommend this experience if you’re visiting Osaka. It was fun, unique, hands-on, and a really special experience to share with my son. We absolutely loved it! 🥷🏻🇯🇵"

"Top Event! We highly recommend it! Very nice Kendo-practise and Teachers. Thank You very much to Toshihiko and Kumiko 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸"

"The place is very beautiful and very clean, and the staff is very welcoming. The gear is high quality and very clean. The team communicates very well in English. After a short introduction to the history of kendo, the various basic movements of kendo are explained. It's very well explained and accessible to everyone. Photos and videos are taken care of, and you will receive them quickly. The team's kindness and thoughtfulness are remarkable. This experience will remain etched in our memory."

"We were looking for a martial arts experience to do with our two sons during our trip to Japan, and this was one of the highlights of our stay in Osaka. Toshi was an excellent instructor, and together with his wife they made us feel very welcome. Both speak great English, making everything easy to understand. We learned the basics of kendo, wore authentic samurai armor, and even had exciting sparring sessions. The photo session by Toshi’s wife was outstanding, and there was plenty of time to take videos and create unforgettable memories. We were three participants, including our youngest son who is 9 years old. The instructors were incredibly patient, professional, and always made sure he felt safe and included. If you’re visiting Osaka, don’t miss this experience. It’s fun, authentic, family-friendly, and a fantastic way to experience Japanese culture. Highly recommended!"

"It was challenging and a rewarding experience. Mr Toshi is an enthusiastic and knowledegable teacher."

"This was a highlight of our Japan trip for my two teens. It was informative and interactive - and we got so many great photos and videos afterward as well. Great way to spend a morning in Osaka!"

"This was the first activity that we booked once we knew we were going to Japan, and oh boy, what a great time we had! Toshi's professionalism and humor, combined with Fumiko's organizational talent made this experience one of the best we had in Japan. It was great to learn new facts on how Kendo came to be and at the same time experience doing it hands on. This is a fun / learn activity for everyone who is interested in Japanese culture, and in my opinion one that should not be missed. Thank you Toshi, Fumiko and grandma"
