Really fun! - Everyone was super kind and helpful! They helped you dress in the kimono and the taught us how to draw and replace the katana, and then we had a movie fight which was super fun! I'd definitely recommend.

Get your Samurai face on! - This was a professional samurai sword class. We arrived, and they dressed us in our practice samurai kimonos. The swords were metal and heavy but not sharp on the side. We learned basic moves and then a full fighting move. The instruction was great. They were careful and thoughtful. We were hesitant because it had few reviews but so thankful we booked it! It was an historical activity highlight. Book it!!

Fun and memorable Samurai experience! - It was a memorable experience. We went with my 10 year old daughter and 14 year old son. We had a great time! The instructor was friendly and nice. The session was informative and fun. The assistant was very helpful and she took a lot pictures for us. The clothes were clean and the place was clean and neat. I highly recommend this samurai experience.

Start time confusion leads to disappointment - The start time is not implicit on the ticket nor on the bookings page on Viator. The add to calendar link on Viator apparently went to the default setting of 12 noon. As a result we were late and missed out on the experience, which my family was really looking forward to and paid more than $600 for. In fairness, the initial confirmation we got weeks ago did say that it started at 10:30 AM. But on the day of, the ticket doesn't have the time on it, and the add to calendar feature defaults to an incorrect time.
