Customer Reviews
It was a truly wonderful experience. We participated in the tea ceremony, calligraphy, kimono dressing, and samurai armor experience. The professional instructors explained everything very carefully, and even as complete beginners, we were able to easily understand Japanese culture and enjoy hands-on experiences. The samurai show was incredibly powerful, and we even had the opportunity to try cutting like a real samurai, which was unforgettable. No matter where we took photos inside the facility, everything looked beautiful. All of the staff members were kind and welcoming, and they were fluent not only in Japanese and English, but also in Chinese. I believe this makes the experience enjoyable for visitors from all over the world. We highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in Japanese culture.
This is such a cool and fun cultural experience that everyone should do if you are in Osaka! You get to wear Samurai armor or a kimono, watch shows and get to play with the swords/instruments, learn kaligraphy, and have a japanese tea ceremony. This place allows for learning and experiencing lots of japanese culture all in the same facility. The facility is very clean, beautiful, and has a lot of space, especially for Japan. The staff also speak great english and take many photos and videos of you during the experience. Definitely a can't miss experience in Japan!
This was an unforgettable experience for us. The instrument performers were of a very high standard and played with their souls. The samurai fight show was impressive. The venue is very intimate and we were only a couple of meters from the performance. The tea ceremony was beautiful and enlightening, we felt so welcome and yet it is so elegant and peaceful. The calligraphy was a blast, even my uber caggy hand partner produced something presentable and we have beautiful pictures for our home, and we had a few laughs along the way. Everyone in the venue was so kind and commited to their culture, and excelled at what they did. They even lined up from the top of the stairs to say goodbye. A M A Z I NG.
