Unforgettable experience - It was really nice experience. Staff was very professional and friendly. They explain us everything kindly and understandable. Because of warm weather we recieved bottle of cold watter at the end of the tour. We very appreciate it. If you are in Kyoto don’t think twice and go for it!

Magnificent - If you come to Japan you have to come to this place called samurai walk, it is perfectly beautiful in all aspects. Super friendly staff and explain the history of the samurai of the different eras plus you do a samurai session. You feel in the Edl period. Definitely super recommended, from Mexico greetings to my good friends from samurai walk
