MK Kojimachi Building - Train like an authentic samurai—not as a tourist, but as a dedicated warrior in practice.
This engaging experience is held at a dojo in Tokyo’s Kojimachi district, historically part of Edo Castle’s inner grounds where samurai refined their skills.
Start by learning samurai etiquette and the principles of Bushido, followed by breathing techniques and meditation to calm the mind. Progress to wooden sword drills, strength training with a heavy stick, and silent walking exercises to test your posture and focus—reminiscent of a ninja.
Next, master real combat sword techniques and apply them in one-on-one sparring with an instructor. As a final challenge, test your precision by slicing paper with a real sword.
During a break, savor matcha green tea and Japanese sweets in a serene, cultural setting.
At the conclusion, receive a personalized scroll-style certificate with your name and the techniques you learned. You’ll also wear traditional samurai attire and take a commemorative photo.
