This was an amazing experience from start to finish. I took my son for a graduation gift. He loves everything to do with Samurai. I was less enthusiastic for it initially. In the end, I enjoyed it as much as he did. Being in a house that actually belonged to a Samurai at one point, hearing the stories and the fascinating history, seeing the demonstrations, all of it was exciting and insightful. Everyone was so friendly, efficient, and engaged. The Samurai masters, besides being incredible at their craft, took great pride in teaching and helping us. The hands-on experience of actually handling the sword was awe inspiring. We were allowed to take photo and video for most of it. When we couldn’t take photos, they did for us and provided them at no additional charge. And the photos were fantastic. Ending with a Zen meditation really capped off the immersive experience.
