Amazing samurai experience
Our family (adults and children ranging in ages 8-48) were extremely fortunate to partake in the wonderful samurai experience on our recent magical trip to Tokyo. We were able to watch the samurai’s perform in a spectacular display. But then we were able to become samurais ourselves! We were taught what they wear, movements and maneuvers and then to fight just like a samurai. The kids and adults both loved this! The actors and hosts were all so lovely and patient with us, answering our questions, showing us different movement, and then filing our scenes. We had the best time. I can fully recommend this wonderful experience! Perfect family fun!
