Must do samurai photo experience in Tokyo. - This was an absolutely fantastic experience! Takemura was fabulous! He made the experience incredible. He was energetic, informative and included all the members of our family. We didn’t get the photographer’s name, but he took amazing photos. I would definitely recommend this as a must do in Tokyo. Check their instagram at samurai _bamboo.

Samurai experience photoshoot - It was an incredibly fun experience. The manager Takemura-san was really helpfull and fun. The photoshoot was really professional and during the shoot Takemura-san was willing to answer questions about the armor itself and able to tell some interesting information about the armor and the props that were in the studio.

Having real sword and armour...will gives you vibes of japanese wareror.大和魂。 - The instructors were incredibly kind, patient, and passionate about what they do. Their ability to communicate in English made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The samurai history briefing was absolutely captivating — you could truly feel the spirit of the samurai come alive through their storytelling. This experience goes beyond just a simple activity — it’s a cultural journey that leaves a deep impression. If you want to make your trip to Japan truly unforgettable, this is something you must try. It’s inspiring, educational, and simply amazing!

Amazing Experience with great atmosphere - Absolutely amazing experience, Takemura-San was incredibly friendly and helpful giving us his generations of family knowledge of samurai. The armors were absolutely beautiful and all the photos were amazing thanks to his incredible attention to detail in orchestrating the poses. My only regret is I only booked it one time!

The best experience in Tokyo - Highly recommended for those who are fascinated by samurai. Dressing up a samurai armor is an incredible experience! Mr. Takemura (if I didn’t get wrong with the name) is extremely friendly and made everything even more fun. The photos were great and I got them all in an SD card. Don't go to Shibuya without this experience included in the route. All wonderful!!
