ABOUT US

SAMURAI EXPERIENCE【SAMURAI’ve】 is an immersive cultural program based in Harajuku, Tokyo. We offer visitors from around the world the chance to experience real samurai training through sword choreography (tate), katana handling, and dressing in traditional kimono and hakama. This is not just a show—this is your moment to become a real samurai.

The most important thing for us is simple: we want you to enjoy the experience. Instead of heavy lectures or stiff instructions, we want you to fully enjoy the thrill of becoming a samurai—even if just for a short time. Along the way, you’ll naturally encounter the spirit of Japanese warrior values such as courtesy, loyalty, and Bushido.

• Our team consists of professional performers and instructors who actively work in movies, TV dramas, and stage productions as sword choreographers and samurai action supervisors.
• We’ve been invited to perform samurai shows across Japan and internationally, including corporate parties, opening acts, and cultural events.
• We operate Japan’s largest samurai sword school, SAMURAI’ve, with the highest number of students nationwide.
• We collaborate with major travel agencies to provide samurai experiences for tour groups, school programs, and international delegations.

All instructors are active sword performers, actors, and cultural professionals. They provide instruction in English and prioritize both safety and enjoyment. Whether you’re a child, a couple, or a senior traveler, our team ensures that everyone has a fun and meaningful experience.

Our studio is located in Harajuku, Tokyo—just a short walk from JR Harajuku Station and Meiji-Jingumae Station. It’s easy to access while sightseeing, and we offer changing spaces and luggage storage for your convenience.

SAMURAI EXPERIENCE is more than just watching—it’s doing. It’s about stepping into the shoes of Japan’s ancient warriors and making unforgettable memories. Whether it’s your first time in Japan or you’re a lifelong fan of Japanese culture, we welcome you to discover the spirit of the samurai with us.
