Traveller reviews
We cannot recommend this experience enough. Such an amazing, warm and kind group of utter professionals who have the day and one of the highlights of this Belgian family of four. The photoshoot was amazing, with plenty of room and time to relax, get into you role, gasp and gawk at the amazing armors, etc. The crew are so professional and helpfull to get yoy dressed and posing. The same and more also goes for the armor sets and props. Yes, some headpieces might look heavy and some realky are, but that only is a testament to their quality. A little bit of endurance and effort pays off huge dividens in the end. All this while having nice conversations and fun. A perfect family experience if you have even the slightest ounce of affinity with anything Edo or samurai culture. Greatly recommended!! They deserve all the praise and more! Thank you Yoshi and team once more. We'll have memories of a lifetime.
An amazing experience with very accommodating crew.
This is a relatively new company and they deserve 5+ stars! The pictures speak for themselves - stunning! The whole crew made it fun and they went out of their way to make it special for my daughter’s birthday. Don’t think about it - book it and go!!!!
We didn't have time for the photo experience, but wanted to buy katanas for our teenage grandsons. While we were looking over their products, another couple was prepping for their photo shoot, hair, makeup, full outfits, the works. It looked like they were going to have a great experience. If we had the time, we would have booked one for ourselves. They had a good selection of reasonably priced katanas of good quality, practice katanas, not for professionals. But the best thing is that we had them shipped to 2 different locations in the US, Washington State and Florida. They both arrived, well packaged, within 2 weeks! They provided tracking info along with our receipt. The best shipping experience we have had on our many travels. I highly recommend this operator.
This was an incredible experience with incredibly kind and generous staff. The photos are A+ and would highly recommend going. The staff is thorough and patient. The entire experience was great and would definitely visit again. Also, the staff has great anime taste and knowledge
Now this was fun! The crew really made it easy. They had a wide selection of samurai attire. They did not feel rushed at all. I this with my 12-year-old son during our father son trip to Japan. I strongly recommend you start with the samurai Museum to get to know history. We did that first, then came for the shoot. We purchased a sword from Shogun instead of the museum because they are very high high-quality and honestly it was the sword of the shoot, which is an amazing memory. The photos were fantastic five out of five stars
An unique amazing experience, that we enjoyed a lot and very beautiful and professional photos. The staff were very friendly and professional. We had a great unforgettable time. We recommend this experience very highly.
Amazing experience. The staff is very competent and professional but also very helpful and nice. Thank you very much for this unique experience!!
