The best experience ever!
The Kendo experience was one of the best decision for our trip to Japan! The kindness, respect and passion that Daichi and his other instructor exuded was legendary. We simply loved the experience and plan to not only tell our friends about it but go there

Brilliant kendo intro for a first-timer
Very good kendo introduction in 2 h and in the end you could challenge the sensei with genuine kendo armor. This one was good in many ways for a first-timer. Budo-background helps. This was very well organised and tutored. The sensei was very good at this role.
