Well worth it and would recommend to anyone! - The Asakusa Samurai Sword Experience was very good, the instructor was very polite, friendly and clear with her instructions. I learned about the teachings behind Iaido and a brief history which I found to be very informative. My guide Hakata Kazuyasu was extremely friendly and made me feel very welcomed throughout the tour and talked to me about the many areas on the itinerary. Over all the experience was well worth it and I would recommend it to anyone considering coming to Tokyo on holiday.
