What you can expect

Experience the Way of the Samurai in Kyoto

Step into the world of the samurai with this immersive cultural experience in the heart of Kyoto. Don traditional samurai attire and explore the rich history of Japan’s warrior class before witnessing a dynamic sword demonstration by expert instructors.

Then, try your hand at swordsmanship using a wooden practice sword, guided by skilled teachers. Once you've refined your technique, test your focus and precision by cutting through a target with a real iaitō (training sword)—an unforgettable moment that connects you directly to the discipline of the samurai.

The experience concludes with a calming Zen meditation session, designed to quiet the mind and center the spirit—reflecting the balance between inner peace and martial focus.

Perfect for those seeking a deeper connection to Japan’s cultural heritage, this hands-on journey offers insight, practice, and a lasting appreciation for the legacy of the samurai.
