20歳のアメリカ人男性をお連れしての甲冑体験。世界的に著名な町井先生に直接お会いできるとは思いませんでした。単にコスチュームを楽しむということではなく、着衣の順番や所作に至るまで、一つ一つの意義や歴史的な背景を、わかりやすく、楽しく説明してくださいました。インバウンドでリアルな日本を求める外国の方が増える中、本物に触れるチャンスがこんなところにあったとは。間違いなく次回もお願いしたいです。写真、ビデオばかりか心にも残る体験でした。

It was the perfect accomplishment of a lifetime dream; to one day train in martial arts in Japan. it was a real honor to train with master Isao Machii. This was a really fun and sympathic moment, as aside titles, he still is humble and very kind to everyone interested in his art. This course requires focus; you don't need to be an expert beforehand but you still hold a weapon. It still is very safe and reassuring as he knows how to guide you in doing good. Thank you so much for this very unique moment ! This was one of the best moment I spent in Japan; it will remain as a cherished memory.

The chance to learn some basics, get some feedback, and finally to cut something with a real katana was unforgettable. Very charismatic instructor with good English skills. Definitely worth trying. 楽しくて勉強になりました!ありがとうございました!
