This was honestly a highlight of our trip to Japan. The hospitality and kindness with which the absolutely fantastic crew led us through this amazing experience was unbelievably wholesome. We thought, we'd get a little sword fighting and katana swinging but we got that and so much more. It was a glimpse into the ways of the Samurai. In a house, visibly full of history we we're greeted with a stunning performance of swordsmanship accompanied by traditional music (kudos to this great shamisen player) elevating this on levels that are out of this world. Also, getting to hold a 100+ years katana and learning how to slice through stuff was of course amazing and exciting. However, this excitement may be kind of hard to grasp and therefore the perfect ending for this experience was the zen Meditation afterwards wrapping up this truly amazing experience. When we left this place we were calm, full of joy and with the feeling of understanding japanese culture a little bit better.
