Private Kendo Experience

It was an amazing experience , I came with five of my friends as a private experience we had alot of fun playing dual matches against each other. The instructor toshi was very good and each of us had a match against him. Would highly recommend to do kendo at this dojo

Thank you for choosing our experience and taking the time to write this wonderful review with photos! You were all incredibly aggressive and quick learners, and the techniques and matches were truly fantastic. Sparring with you was extremely exciting for us as well! If you visit Osaka again, we would absolutely love to practice Kendo together once more. We are very much looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Kendo/Samurai Training and Battle Experience
mohamedaH4467VU, Jan 2026
This Kendo experience was amazing! Toshi and Kumiko were lovely, they were very informative and easy to understand. On top of learning Kendo we were also taught the history of how it came to be which was very interesting. Toshi and Kumiko also have a great sense of humour so expect a very relaxed session as long as you’re respectful of all the instructions they give.
