- Overview
-
- On this tour, you will immerse yourself in the art of Iaido and the spirit of the samurai in an authentic Japanese setting—a serene garden adjacent to a historic samurai residence. Guided by a master Sensei, you will train with genuine antique swords and deepen your understanding of traditional swordsmanship while building meaningful connections with the Sensei and his community. The garden, offering views of a temple bell and the surrounding neighborhood, provides a tranquil backdrop for this unique experience, culminating in a walk to the nearby Meguro Fudoson temple, dedicated to Fudomyooh, the deity of purification and desire.
- In the traditional cutting sessions of Japanese martial arts like "Battodo" and "Iaido", a Japanese sword is used to cut the wrapping of "Tatami-omote" material. You will experience a cutting method called "Kesagiri", where you perform diagonal slashes at a 45-degree angle. Our qualified staff ensures that all participants have a safe experience.
