Unique Japanese experience - Kosei was a fantastic Kendo teacher. He was very encouraging and patient and built everything up in an easy to understand way.
He took photos and videos of us along the way. It was a great experience although hard work!

good - On this SAMURAI TRIP, my friends and I had a great time, and I gained a lot from it. The teacher was very kind and patient, and often encouraged us. There are basically no communication barriers, and the teacher's English is fluent and easy to understand. The price is slightly expensive, but the experience is very good.

Kendo in Osaka - Great experience. The instructor was very attentive and he introduced Kendo through a masterful step-by-step process. Would recommend. I went solo but a tourist family also attended which made the experience a lot more enjoyable.

Best kendo experience - Best hands on experience ever (and I’ve done Samuri, ninja).
Really appreciate Sensai 前田. I particularly enjoyed the real sparring I had with a teacher. Truly a memorable time for me and my 8yo son.
Awesome workout with alot of culture. 10/10

Such an awesome... - Such an awesome experience! It was just my friend and I which made it like our own personal lesson! I’m a bit of a nerd so I always wanted to try kendo since one of my fave characters also does kendo

Can-Do Kendo! - Enjoyable experience for self, wife and our boys (10 yrs & 7 yrs). Get to learn and practice a few of the movements in the first hour. Nothing too strenuous, and it's cool to don the clothing and armor. The second half of the experience includes striking the instructor, and eventually competing against others in the class. Very amenable with respect to us capturing photos and videos to show friends. Also very patient with kiddos. The provider was accommodating and flexible in scheduling our session over the end of year holiday. While tourist oriented, this (clearly 'beginner' experience) is more genuine / less kitsch than some 'playing dress-up' we did at other times during our trip. Had a great time.
