Highly Recommend! - This was an awesome experience! From the moment we walked in the door Takemura made us feel welcome and at home. We got to learn about the different armor sets and he explained each piece as he helped us put them on. The photoshoot was a lot of fun and Takemuras energy is infectious! This is our fourth trip to Japan and this has now ranked high on one of our favorite activities we have done!

Felt like a real samurai!!! - It was an amazing experience. We were greeted at the door by Takemura-san. So much passion and energy. Made my friend and I feel welcomed and at ease. The samurai armor was amazing. Each was a replica of the armor worn by a historical figure. So cool! We were given great instructions on how to pose and facial expressions. Also, the photos were taken by a professional. In the end, I felt and looked like an authentic samurai. So worth it!!!
