Fun and Informative

What a great experience! My son and I had a great time learning about Samurai and how to use the katana. Learning the mini routine was a surprise and also fun to learn. The demonstration that followed was great to watch. This was one of the highlights of our trip.

Samurai Experience

A very interesting presentation of Samurai dances. We enjoyed the hands on activity with the swords. We have some great pictures of ourselves using them. The video was quite informative. The presentation might have been better if the video was shown first.
