An Authentic Glimpse into Samurai History
Great experience from start to finish. Communication was excellent, with everything translated into English, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout. We got a thorough introduction to the history of the house, along with insight into the samurai and their significance.We even got to try our hand at cutting with a real katana on wet oasis foam towers, and had the chance to both see and hold an actual 650-year-old katana.We had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend this experience to others.

Amazing Experience!!!
We had a wonderful experience learning how to prepare traditional matcha tea. The ceremony was beautifully explained, and we gained a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture and traditions. Our instructor was incredibly kind, courteous, friendly, and patient, making everyone feel welcome from the very beginning. She took the time to answer our questions and made the experience both relaxing and memorable. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you for such a special and unforgettable time!

Fun for the whole family
My family had a blast learning about the history of the swords presented to us and getting to hold them. I especially enjoyed the demo where we were able to see the power of the blade in action by a trained professional. Most importantly, we had a blast trying our own skills out and appreciated the photography done by the amazing staff at this site.

Great day in Kyoto
We explored the temples and the bamboo forest with Akira. He is an incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely friendly guide. We learned so much about Japanese religion and the country’s feudal history. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you choose the option that includes lunch.Akira took us to a wonderful restaurant with breathtaking views, where we had the chance to try authentic Japanese specialties that, as tourists, we would never have known to order on our own.Thank you, Akira. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and may life always smile upon you! Stefano
