Samurai Training Experience KENDO in Osaka

Toshi was a funny and experienced instructor. He makes the practice alot more interesting by putting you into the the pressure of the real sparring, including all the ritual of the battle.

Our samurai training experience with Toshi and Kumiko was easily one of the standout activities of our time in Osaka. We did the two-hour experience as a family, and from beginning to end, they were absolutely fantastic. The small-group setting made the entire experience feel personal, interactive, and genuinely special rather than like a typical tourist attraction. We were traveling with our five-year-old son, and I cannot say enough about how incredible Toshi was with him. He was exceptionally patient, took the time to walk him through the instructions step by step, and made sure he felt included throughout the entire experience. Our son was completely engaged and had an absolute blast, which made the experience that much more memorable for all of us. Kumiko was equally wonderful, and together they created such a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for our family. If you’re visiting Osaka and looking for something unique, authentic, and genuinely memorable, I could not recommend this experience more highly. Toshi and Kumiko clearly care about what they do, and that comes through in every part of the experience. One of our favorite activities in Japan and something our family will remember for a very long time. Absolutely deserving of five stars!

I very much enjoyed #Samurai Training Experience KENDO in Osaka. It was such a unique, memorable, and authentic experience, and definitely one of the highlights of my time in Japan. Both of instructors made the experience engaging and enjoyable while giving us a real appreciation for the traditions, discipline, and spirit behind kendo. All required items were offered, and English friendly. I think this is an experience everyone visiting Osaka should try at least once. It’s something completely different from typical sightseeing and gives you a chance to actually learn and participate in an important part of Japanese culture rather than simply observe it.
