Many people come to Japan to learn about the history of samurai and fulfill their childhood dream of being a samurai and this is it.

Started with the samurai experience doing real exercises with an amazing instructor Ryo that’s actually a descendant of real Samurai! And took the historic tour with the ninja experience too in which the instructor Mono was amazing too! Would highly recommend going!
