We can accommodate up to 10 people. In this class, you can experience swordsmanship and archery. The instructor is Yoshiaki Sumita, a teacher of the All Japan Toyama-ryu Iaido Federation. With over 27 years of experience, he has also taught at overseas branches in the United States, Europe, and Hong Kong, and is one of the few teachers in the world who has deeply mastered both swordsmanship and yabusame and continues to pass them down. Iai teaches how to handle a sword, Gekken teaches the distance between you and your opponent and how to attack and defend, and Nuchi teaches the blade line (how to set the blade). ~Schedule: Time may vary depending on the number of participants~① Demonstration (3 mins) ② Lecture on swords (20 mins) ③ Change into training clothes (10 mins) ④ Iai lesson (20 mins) ⑤ Gekken lesson (20 mins) ⑥ Kyūjutsu lesson (20 mins) ⑦ Checking the blade line (20 mins) ⑧ Certificate of Inka (5 mins) ⑨ Change into casual clothes (10 mins)

I started as a newbie, and at the end of the class, I was able to cut a tatami mat, bringing me a great sense of achievement. Really is worth a try!

This plan is conducted in Japanese by a Japanese taiko instructor and includes an English translation guide.

It combines elements of sport and brain training, and is used at shrines and temples as an instrument that is inhabited by gods, to ward off evil and pray for happiness, making it a perfect gift or celebration. (*Venue fees may be charged separately depending on the date, time, and number of people, so please check at the time of booking.)

Tennen Rishin-ryu swordsmanship, which began in the Edo period, is still passed down today, and at the Tennen Rishin-ryu Hino Dojo, students of the school hone their swordsmanship skills. You too can learn Tennen Rishin-ryu at an actual dojo. Swordsmen who trained in Tennen Rishin-ryu in Hino formed the Shinsengumi, known as the strongest group of swordsmen at the end of the Edo period, and were called the Last Samurai.

The experience of touching the soul of the samurai will surely transform you.

日本とサムライが大好きなドイツから観光に来ていた友人に楽しんでもらって良い思い出を…と思いお伺いしましたが、先生も温かくフレンドリーに接して下さり、とても丁寧に教えて頂き良かったです。 安全に切り合うための間合いや太刀筋、刀裁きを教えて頂きながらやるので、チャンバラ好きな子どもには、ぜひ体験してもらって安全にチャンバラごっこで遊んでほしいなぁ…とも思いました。 もちろん、ドイツの友人は大喜びで、日本が好きなあまりに浴衣や足袋や刀まで持っていたり、時代劇も観ているので、教えて頂いても吸収が早く、先生が「ふつうは初心者にはここまでやらないんですが…」と、いろいろな殺陣をやらせてくださり、本当にサービス精神の旺盛な有難く、とっても楽しい体験をさせて頂きました。 本当にとっても優しく語りかけて下さり、教えて下さるのですが、ひとたび演技に入ると眼光も変わり、刀が空気を切る音が素晴らしかったです。 本日は、本当にありがとうございました。
