Samurai & Ninja Experience in Osaka

Fantastic experience and lots of fun for adults and kids!
This is the second time we have done this experience and both times we had so much fun. The boys chose to dress up as Samurai or Ninja. Then we were all given swords and taught some moves. We were taught a choreographed battle and took turns while the others watched (and laughed) and they staff videoed the battle, with sound effects and everything. The kids had a great laugh at hubby and I trying to remember the moves. We had a blast! We finished off with some Shuriken (ninja star) throwing, which Mum won much to the boys dismay! As we left one of the staff showed us his golden Shuriken, his trophy as the top ninja star thrower in Japan. We would all highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun Japanese experience.
