Summary:
We really enjoy this experience! Jonah, Jayce and Akira are really friendly!
First of all, this activity is not only about cutting something with a real katana. You learn a lot about the place you are in : they tell you about the history, the people, how was life here before... It's totally immersive! You can feel they truly love this old feudal place.
Then you will put on a samurai training outfit and learn the basic movements with a bokken. After you're ready, you'll use a real one, which is a sensational experience! They take plenty of photos and videos.
I sincerely recommend this experience : a lot of fun, very interesting and educational too.
