Don't hesitate, just book already! - We had an amazing time! Very informative, a ton of fun and a must have experience! You don't need any special gear, and the dojo was a beautiful setting. As someone with experience teaching and martial arts, it was a well structured class.

Great Experience - Taiji is an experienced instructor. He exuded a calm and warm energy. The explanations were clear. I learnt so much. I was anxious at first but Taiji put me at ease.

Hidden gem experience! - My son (college aged) and I chose this experience as it is a Japanese sport and something I would not find at home in the US. Wow! What a fun lesson!!! Taiji was very informative, patient, encouraging, and friendly. Despite the language barrier, he spoke enough English to instruct us well and show us what to do. This is a must for families! I hope to come back and do it again with my other sons… it’s worth a repeat visit. 👍

Amazing! - I arrived in Okinawa without many expectations of urban activities, but Samurai Trip's experience has proved me wrong. The class was fantastic, and Yamakawa sensei was patient enough to teach me, who had absolutely no previous experience with kendo, the basics of or. I definitely recommend it, even for non-Japanese speakers.
