Full description

Unlock the mystery of the samurai class who ruled Japan for 7 centuries just until 160 years ago. First, experience Iaido, a dominant art of swordsmanship practiced by samurai. If you can imagine a samurai swiftly and deftly slicing a roll of straw mat, that is Iaido. After arriving at the Iaido dojo, change into a samurai attire with a sword. Learn from a master what Iaido is about, flow of experience, and actually slash a cardboard with a sword; not a roll of straw mat for your safety. Observe solo demonstration of the master up close to marvel at his skill, which is especially impressive after your own experience. You will receive a certificate of completion at the end.

Includes

  • Iaido experience at the main dojo of Hogyokukai
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off
