It's 100% worth the money and not a tourist trap. The instructor, Sumida Sensei, was very patient and carefully taught me how to handle a katana. In the end, the improvement was visible. 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!

An authentic samurai experience taught by real actors who are active in movies and on stage! Let's experience sword fighting! Travel back in time to Japan a long time ago in an old folk house that looks like a scene from an Akira Kurosawa movie! From how to use a sword to samurai etiquette. At the end, they filmed a performance in which they defeated the enemy by standing around. I will give it to you later! This is a valuable experience that will make you feel like a real movie star.

This was a great class. Kaori was a great teacher and we had plenty of time to practice our brush strokes before doing our final product. She also went through some of the history of writing styles. Great experience and would highly recommend this class. Kaori also premade some writings with our names before we got there on a small piece of wood and on paper in 3 different styles.
