Kyoto Samurai Experience : Samurai Sword Lesson

Age 2+

Please make a reservation 24hours prior, or please ask if it’s available to samurai@mai-ko.com or +81-7-5585-5410.

The Kyoto sword fighting lesson is offered everyday (except Tuesday) at the Samurai and Ninja Museum of Japan Kyoto. This is the only samurai sword experience in Kyoto where you would feel like a real samurai and have a real hands on sword experience different from some simple costume play. Many people come to Japan to learn about the history of samurai and fulfill their childhood dream of being a samurai and this is it. The lesson includes hakama wearing (optional), iaido sword fighting show, tameshigiri/test cutting (optional), free tour of the Samurai and Ninja Museum, wearing samurai armor and samurai helmet and posing in front of several samurai-theme backgrounds. The whole experience takes about 2 hours.

  • A hands on lesson about the basics of iaido. I aido is a form of martial arts that increases self-awareness and teaches the techniques of responding to a sudden attack by a sword
  • A free tour of Samurai and Ninja Museum of Japan Kyoto

  • Wearing a samurai outfit and samurai helmet (included in your ticket price)
  • Posing with swords in front of a studio or samura-themed backgrounds
