Let them hit you in a way that you will enjoy

It was very interesting and fun evening, even though a little exhausting (who would guess :) ). I had no prior experience, but they were a very understanding and helpful. After some basics I join regular members in training (where they let me hit them in practice), after small break there were sparring matches (where they hit me instead, I had no chance :D ). If you are interested in kendo or these arts as whole, it's definitely worth your money and time.

【Kendo】 Genuine Samurai experience in Tokyo

Tokyo
2 hours

My favorite part of my Japan experience!

This was my absolute favorite part of my Japan trip! It wasn't a "tourist attraction" it was a genuine lesson by a true master. There was one other foreigner besides myself & we both agreed that it was such a unique experience. Even with the communication barrier I found it easy to follow along & found it very engaging. I will say I am fairly fit & my calves were certainly sore after the lesson, so be sure you plan a bit of a break afterwards. The location is a touch tricky to locate, but look out for a vending machine with Kendo logos on it! I recommend adding this to your Japan plans immediately!

Kendo challenge

Definitely recommend this as one of the things to do when in Tokyo. No regrets, just a life time memory. Was glad I did this, showed an appreciation of an art hopefully to carry on for generations.

My name is Kumiko. I used to live in New York and London and worked for US companies for many years. Based on my experience, I recognize that Japan is a fascinating country, but at the same time, it is unique in many ways. Tokyo, as the capital of Japan, is a unique and diverse mix of cutting-edge technology, traditional culture, and Western influences. As an art lover, I am happy to show you many galleries in Tokyo. I received a Certificate of Art Business Masterclass from Christie's. As a guide, I'd like to explain to my guests about Japanese culture as well as background and introduce popular places and food. I think most visitors coming to Japan are hoping both to enjoy themselves and also have a meaningful encounter with a different culture. I am looking forward to helping you explore my city and enjoy everything it has to offer.

Hi. I’m Seigo. I am a licensed guide in both English and Chinese. I can speak Spanish just a little bit. I enjoy listening to music, watching sports, driving in my car, and learning new languages in my free time. Since I have lived in Kanagawa my whole life, I can offer satisfying private customized tours to each guest group. My recommended destinations in Kanagawa are Kamakura, a seat of Japan's first Shogunate, and Hakone, a popular resort area with mountains and Lake Ashi. In addition to the standard tourist destinations, I can also drive you around some nice places in the suburbs of Tokyo that foreign tourists don't usually visit. It will be great if you have fun exploring Japan with my little help. Please feel free to contact me anytime! I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

I came to Japan in 1998, intending to stay a few months, but enjoying Japan, I never left. I was intrigued by the history, culture, language, and food. And the fascination and excitement of exploring and learning new things about Japan still exists with me today. The variety and choices of things to do and places to go can be overwhelming. I can offer you suggestions and a unique perspective on Japan. I can share local knowledge about things often missed. Fluent in Japanese with a master's degree in Japanese Studies and living in Japan for over 20 years, I can be your guide.

Are you interested in history and clues to understand Japanese culture? If you say "yes", why don't you join my tour? Tokyo is a wonderful city having various aspects. With its 400-year history, Tokyo has a lot of traditional spots like splendid Buddhist temples and serene Shinto shrines. You can also find beautiful traditional Japanese gardens. On the other hand, Tokyo never stops changing. Every year new spots emerge and trend-conscious people enjoy visiting sophisticated shopping districts. Various types of amusement are available from digital art museums to cat cafes. And another very important point is Tokyo is full of delicious food! I love Tokyo and I'd be happy if I could help to make your stay in Tokyo more enjoyable. I'll take you various spots including both traditional and modern ones according to your requests.
