WHAT IS SAMURAI EXPERIENCE?
Overview
SAMURAI EXPERIENCE is an immersive cultural program based in Harajuku, Tokyo. We welcome visitors from around the world to experience authentic samurai training through sword choreography (tate), katana handling, and traditional etiquette while wearing kimono and hakama.
This is not a show to watch. It is an experience where you step into the role of a samurai yourself — and take home unforgettable memories from Japan.
Highlights
- Sword choreography (tate) training
- Katana handling & basic technique
- Kimono & hakama dressing
- Samurai etiquette and movement
- Photo moments you’ll actually want to keep
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Fun × Authentic
Our philosophy is simple: we want you to truly enjoy the experience. Instead of long lectures, we focus on an engaging, hands-on training session that makes you feel like a real samurai — even in a short time.
Through the movements and etiquette, you naturally encounter the spirit of Japanese warrior values such as respect, discipline, and Bushido.
What you’ll feel
- Confidence through movement
- Respect through etiquette
- Immersion without “tourist acting”
- A safe, structured training flow
TRAINING FLOW
Respect first, then real technique
Every session begins with etiquette and safety guidance, then moves into authentic sword choreography (tate). No experience needed — we teach step by step.
You’ll learn
- Samurai etiquette and posture
- Basic sword handling and movement
- Choreographed action that looks real
