What is an Iaito? An Iaito is a specialized practice sword used in the Japanese martial art of Iaido (the art of drawing the sword). An Iaito is a specialized practice sword used in the Japanese martial art of Iaido (the art of drawing the sword). While it looks nearly identical to a real Japanese sword (Shinken), it is specifically designed to be non-sharpened for safety during training. Most Iaito are crafted from a high-quality zinc-aluminum alloy. This material is intentionally used because it cannot hold a sharp edge, meaning it is not classified as a weapon under Japanese law and does not require a permit. Dress Like a Samurai: Begin your journey by donning the traditional Samurai hakama. Feel the history and honor in every fold of this iconic attire. Learn Iaido Techniques: Under the guidance of skilled instructors, master the basic Iaido techniques with a replica sword. Experience the precision and discipline that defines Samurai training. !Children under 10 can not enter the samurai venue.! !You can reserve maximum 4 people from Viator however we accept any other booking site and there will be more participants in your experience!

I had a wonderful tour with Isu and the other guide Yu . They were both fantastic, very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable. Thank you both!
An absolutely fun and amazing experience. If you are looking for an immersive activity to learn about Japanese Samurai culture and history then this is the place to go. The activities led by the instructor were well paced and very fun to do. He was absolutely brilliant with his instructions as well as his sense of humour and warmth towards us. The museum tour afterwards was also absolutely amazing. The guide did a phenomenal job of both entertaining and educating the visitors as we toured the exhibits. Honestly she would have made a phenomenal history teacher if she ever decided to become one! Visiting this museum is a huge reason why I have enjoyed my holiday to Japan thus far!
So much fun and the museum part was very interesting. Woyld definately recommend this experience. Everyone was very helpful.
Great experience, learnt a lot from our guide for the experience. Enjoyed putting on some Samurai Armour and being able to wield the blade. The learning of some fighting moves, the dueling with my partner. The step by Step instruction of attack, and then becoming a Ninja. All very much worthwhile and highly enjoyable. Try it and enjoy it for yourself.
Ryo was an amazing teacher that showed an awesome experience learning how to be a samurai and learn the ways of how to use a sword.
Very educational, koki was a great instructor. We did a duel, the dressing part, it was amazing. I would suggest the experience
Sensi Ryo was very engaging, energetic and full of exuberance. This made the class that much more enjoyable, very educating also.
We had a super great time, Ryo was a great instructor! We would definitely recommend when you are coming through Tokyo!!
The Tokyo Sword Experience was very appealing. We had a very good time as a family and got to practice with a sword. Furthermore, the tour through the museum was very exciting.
Fantastic experience! Momo was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience fun and easy to understand, would really recommend
Fantastic two hour experience - worth every penny. From costumes to samurai lessons to history talk , a history lesson and a ninja session, it was brilliant. Do this trip...it will be a highlight. Our samurai instructor (Ryo) was exceptional.
Really great family experience! We did a samurai and ninja experience. With the samurai you learn how to use a sword and with the ninja you get to throw a star and use a blow pipe. Great fun for the whole family! Recommend it.
The best experience hands down for my kids which are young but older kids and adults all loved it! They learned technique and really participated all the practices. We had an amazing time!
Very good guide named Nami. Fun and knowledgeable. A good time with family. I would recommend this guide and place for sure
Koki was fantastic! There was no shortage of laughs and fun all while learning an interested iaido! Our family of teens to adults had a blast!
We had so much fun in today’s session. Koki was our instructor and did an amazing and fun samurai experience for me and my kids. This is a must.
Such a fun and meaningful initiation into the art of the sword! Ryo, the headmaster, was warm, funny, and incredibly skilled. He made everyone feel confident and engaged from start to finish. A perfect mix of culture, energy, and fun, highly recommend if you’re in Tokyo! Thank you, Ryo sensei !
Great experience for the family, especially on a wet day. Momo is a lovely guide. We learned a lot and had fun. Thank you so much
The tour was fun and informative. I’d recommend it. It is in a nice area and the people who work here are friendly and knowledgeable.
Ryo was an amazing instructor for our English speaking family of 5 (adults and teens). We did the private Samurai experience, which took an hour. We dressed like samurai, each selected our own real swords and walked through a series of actual training moves (Ryo is 22 generations samurai). Then with foam swords the family got to fight each other and the winner one a shurikein. Amazing time. 5/5 for all of us.
Great demonstration by Master Ryo! It was an awesome experience to be a ninja and samurai for day! The instructor helped us understand the ways of the samurai.
This is a must do event!! A professional ninja who is really knowledgeable about the samurai history! Very kid friendly
I went here today and it was lots of fun and very interesting! If you have the time, definitely check it out! You even get to throw ninja throwing stars!
Ninja experience was fantastic. Shuriken. Katanas and darts…amazing instructions by Koki…definitely I will do it again.
Very fun experience for me, my husband and friends. We tried being a samurai and fight a samurai battle with katanas - thank you instructor Ryo!
Really nice tour and fun to throw the ninja stars! The guide was fun and very nice. It was also possible to try out Samurai armour.
Koki was amazing teaching us the way of the samurai. Great experience battling with swords and got a video of us in action!
This was so much fun. Really cool insights about the history. Things I wish I knew before watching Shogun. One of the highlights of the trip. Thank you.
Koki was a great instructor for the Samurai experience, he was engaging and patient as he ran us through the basics. Momo was fantastic in the Ninja experience, she was fun and enthusiastic with lots of energy. The museum was interesting, with great information and displays.
Fantastic experience myself and my daughter loved it! Many thanks to Koki and all the staff. We will definitely be back!
Koki was a very good instructor. We had so much fun. Highly recommended activity when in Tokyo. Wearing the Samurai costume made it realistic.
Momo was great! She was very patient with my kids. The ninja experience was worth the money. The weapons were fun to play with also. Dressing up before as a samurai and lots of photo opps
We visited the ninja and sword lessons and it was great and fun. The sword sensei and Momo were extremely friendly and nice
Amazing so much fun I enjoyed it and I beat up my friend with a padded bat because I needed to avenge my father’s name in front of the class. I wish I was a ninja ninjas are awesome and I enjoyed the class so much I could move to the mountains and start a new life of ninja training with monks.
We had such an excellent time during the samurai experience. Our dojo sensei Koki was fantastic and make the experience very informative and fun.
Great performance of Koki! Super cool to try it out also. Good instructions and fun with Photos. Can recomend do this with friendes or alone
