"Samurai Training Tokyo Asakusa" is a samurai experience plan supervised by Takafuji Ukon, the head of the Ukon School of Sword Dance, which is active on the world stage. Feel like a samurai by changing into a hakama and holding a sword in Asakusa, a popular tourist destination in Japan! A swordsman from the school will carefully teach you how to use a sword. The content is designed to allow you to enjoy swordsmanship without being too rigid, so it is also fun for children and groups. At the end of the experience, you will be presented with an official school certificate with your photo, so please feel free to make a memorable and recordable memory of Japan!

We had a great time at this Samurai experience. We learned how to greet like a Samurai, a few attack and defend moves, as well as got to use a katana. The Samurai master was patient and very nice. We took some great photos and videos also. Overall it was a great experience that I would very much recommend.

3 minutes walk from JR Omori Station, Tokyo①A calligraphy experience class will be held in the grounds of Omori Sanno Hie Shrine. In an ancient Japanese-style room, you can write kanji and kana using real brushes, Japanese paper, ink, and inkstones. All tools will be provided here, so please come empty-handed. You can take home the work you have written (if you wish, we will provide a frame and a seal). The instructor is a Bunka Calligraphy Higher Master and also teaches at several calligraphy classes in Tokyo. ②On the second floor of the same building, we hold lessons for the Iwama-ryu Aikido class, and if the time is right, you can also observe and experience it. In addition to physical techniques, there are also weapon techniques (using swords, canes, and daggers). ③In addition, simple tea utensils will be provided upon request, so you can experience the tea ceremony by making your own matcha. ④Nearby is Omori Shell Mound Park, where you can take a stroll and feel the Jomon period. Since it is not a famous Japanese landmark, you can quietly experience Japanese culture in a hidden sacred place that only those in the know know about. Valuable photo opportunities and videos are sure to become fond memories of your trip. *Experiences and messaging will be available in Japanese and English only.
