What you can expect

Step into the world of authentic samurai culture through a private experience in Tokyo.

Learn Authentic Tate (Samurai Sword Choreography) directly from the Shiden-ryu Masters of Tokyo Kenbukai.

Rather than simply copying poses, you will discover the Spirit of Bushido while learning authentic movement, posture, timing, and partner coordination.

First, you will practice directly with the Master to learn the choreography. Then, under the Master's guidance, you and another participant will perform the choreographed Tate with each other, experiencing the rhythm, distance, and cooperation that bring authentic samurai action to life.

As your confidence grows, you will perform your own action scene inspired by samurai films.

The highlight of this experience is performing authentic Tate with another participant, following choreography taught by the Master and bringing a realistic samurai duel to life.

Experience Includes
• Samurai Costume Dressing
• Brief Introduction to Bushido
• Authentic Tate Workshop with a Shiden-ryu Master
• Partner Tate Performance
• Live Kenbu (Samurai Sword Dance) Performance
• Japanese Calligraphy Experience
• Matcha & Traditional Japanese Sweets

Optional Add-on
Tameshigiri (Real Sword Test Cutting) is available upon request (+5,000 JPY per person), conducted under strict safety supervision.

Basic instructions are provided in simple English.

The exact venue will be confirmed after booking. Our staff will meet you at the nearest station and personally guide you to the venue.
