Don’t hesitate to come - We had an amazing experience at the samurai class — honestly the best activity we’ve done here in Tokyo. The instructors were extremely patient, knowledgeable, and made everything easy to follow, even for beginners. They took their time explaining the history and techniques, which made it feel really special and authentic. My son and I both had such a great time — it was fun, engaging, and something we’ll definitely remember from our trip. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting!
