Feeling the Weight - Booked a slot on the 21-May-2024 at around 11am, and probably is the first group to arrive for the day. We were instantly welcomed by the Manager - Shimpei Takemura and his team. He gave a brief rundown on the background of the Samurai who once donned the familiar armours and allowed us to touch and take photos before the actual fun began. The armour itself weighs about 30 kilograms (66 pounds) and trying to walk really makes you wonder how the warriors of the past can charge at their enemies with ease. All in all, I truly enjoyed my time there and look forward to another visit in the near future.

Fantastic and worth every cent. - My husband booked this for both of us, and I will admit I was skeptical, especially because it was not inexpensive. However, I am so glad he did, it was absolutely worth every penny. The experience for the two of us lasted about 90 minutes. It takes time to have all that armor put on properly and they took tons of photos. They provided us with an SD card of approximately 300 photos and he also airdropped them to my iphone while we were there. I was expecting the "nickel-and-diming" that happens in the US for an event like this, but it never occurred. Of all the things we did throughout Japan, this was my husband's hands down favorite. And I admit it was fantastic.

Samurai For A Moment 😀 - How can I thank you Takemura for today’s photo shoot and making it so much fun. Explaining some his-tort of the Samurai was great. Explaining each part of the armor as you become my personal dress page was simply AWESOME! Takemura, thanks for all the pictures! Thank you for your kindness and kind words and greeting! My wife and I are simply humbled by your kindness and what we have experienced in your country😀 How could anyone not get this done when in Tokyo is beyond me. あなたは自分自身や家族だけでなく、自分の仲間をどう扱うかによって自分の家族にも敬意を表します。ありがとう Anata wa jibun jishin ya kazoku dakedenaku, jibun no nakama o dō atsukau ka ni yotte jibun no kazoku ni mo keii o arawashimasu.

Fabulous, fun time - This was such fun! Takemura was marvellous and entertaining too. The experience was fantastic and I had loads of photos in my shoot to take away. Takemura also took a few bonus pictures on my phone so I could send them immediately to my friends. If you're going to Tokyo this is a must, it's such fun.

Great Solo Activity - Super fun experience! I was given great help posing and feeling comfortable in front of a camera. I would 100% recommend anyone to do this. If you're reading this and are on the fence, TRUST ME. It's worth every dollar! Oh, and the photo uploaded was one taken from my phone. The photos taken by the professional are even more amazing!

Super Epic Samurai photoshoot! - The samurai armor donning was a fun experience, Seeing yourself getting fully geared up is really fullfilling. Takemura-san is a really engaging in the photo session, helping make me look heroic and epic! Went with Masamune Date's armor because it looks so kakkoii! (Cool!) Would definitely recommend anyone to give it a shot and feel how that armor is donned and how epic it looks. I would update the post with photos, but i need to transfer
