We loved our samurai experience, it was interesting, entertaining and we all had a lot of fun. Both adults and kids! Trying on the outfits, the weapons, and learning about the different tricks. It’s well done and the right amount of time.
Excellent experience, my son was very happy and enjoyed the 90 min, the staff is very friendly and the dojo is awesome!
A truly great experience to learn about samurai and ninja history and culture and get hands on experience with the skills and weapons. Very interesting time and the staff are friendly and engaging.
I recently participated in the 90 minute premium experience at the Musashi Clan Dojo and could not be more pleased. Through a combination of an interpreter and the sensei/master, we were given an appropriate amount of engaging history lessons and real lessons with weapons. My wife and I were able to practice using the blow gun, shuriken, and were able to spend time practicing with wooden swords. An ample opportunity was provided for us to take photos and videos of one another. We felt extremely welcome and could sense that the sensei genuinely wanted us to both enjoy the experience and meaningfully learn some of the real tricks of the trade with respect to shinobi (ninjas) and samurai. I definitely learned some historical nuance to the job of ninja and samurai that I previously did not know! If you want to have an extremely non-touristy and private experience for a small group, I strongly encourage you to sign up for an experience at the Musashi Clan dojo - a "family operation" since the Tokugawa Shogunate (hundreds of years)!
This was a ton of fun. Vanessa and her colleague told us a great story and the experience of learning about the Japanese Samurai and Ninja culture. They were great hosts and took us through some fun exercises while explaining the history of it all. Very kind and hospitable., My 14 year old son said it was the best experience of our trip
