I had to take the time out to write a review of this amazing experience I booked for my 9year old son and I in Kyoto. The staff at Samurai Kenbu was amazing. Helpful, attentive, so skilled. There was a show at the beginning then a smaller group for the sword class and lastly with put samurai costumes on and continued the class. We absolutely loved it. Highly recommend

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our instructor came from a long line of performers which was fascinating to learn about. Be prepared for a bit of an arm workout. If you're not used to the movements, the katana will seem a little heavy.
