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

Amazing photoshoot - This was an amazing experience. Both of the hosts had a ton of energy and were a lot of fun to be around. You get to choose from a number of different armours and I learned some cool facts about the samurai and got a bunch of very cool photos. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great Experience - It was a great experience and it was really fun to slip into the clothes of a samurai. Thanks to the fantastic guide of San Takemura and a lot of information, you can also learn a lot of interesting facts about the history of the samurai.

Amazing experience - This was 100% worth it. Takemura was amazing and super friendly. Explaining the history of some of the armour and helping direct posing for the shoot. If I was to come back to Japan I would 100% do it again. Highly recommended.
