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。

正直予約する時はそれほど期待していませんでした。洋画でよく見る違和感だらけの日本文化な感じ?と思いながらお伺いしましたが、間近で見られる殺陣のショーはプロの役者さん達によるもので、本当に迫力満点!続く侍体験では技を一つ一つ丁寧に教えて頂き、最後はなんとか一連の動画撮影に成功!ただ頭の中で思い描いていた、かっこいい侍の自分とはかけ離れた動きでした笑。やはり俳優さんは、まず立ち姿勢から全然違いますね。口コミを見ると外国の方が多いですが、日本人も十二分に楽しめるアクティビティです。

This is called Deathbed calligraphy.At last, he puts on his armor and helmet to become a bushido master and goes to battle at the castle of Osaka to gain military merit in the battle of Osaka. However, when the defeat was imminent, the samurai, for the sake of honor, would not suffer the shame of the noose, even if they lost the battle, but would die by harakiri or cutting their belly before being captured.

This plan is conducted in Japanese by a Japanese taiko instructor and includes an English translation guide. Wadaiko is a traditional Japanese culture that has been around for over 5,000 years, with close ties to samurai, kabuki, festivals, sumo, and more. It can be enjoyed by people of all ages, genders, nationalities, and even those with no prior experience playing an instrument. 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.)
Had lots of fun playing with two types of taiko drum and different rhythms. Enjoy the performance from the teacher. The teacher and translator are both great and helpful!
