Description
Unlock the mystery of the samurai class who ruled Japan for 7 centuries just until 160 years ago. First, experience Iaido, a dominant art of swordsmanship practiced by samurai. If you can imagine a samurai swiftly and deftly slicing a roll of straw mat, that is Iaido. After arriving at the Iaido dojo, change into a samurai attire with a sword. Learn from a master what Iaido is about, flow of experience, and actually slash a cardboard with a sword; not a roll of straw mat for your safety.
Observe solo demonstration of the master up close to marvel at his skill, which is especially impressive after your own experience. You will receive a certificate of completion at the end.
We will move on to a samurai related landmark to learn the values samurai adhered to, and the shogunate regime they lived in. At the sword museum, learn materials used to produce swords and appreciate the sheer beauty of swords as work of art.
We will take those interested to a sword shop to conclude the tour.
