    My son and I were really looking forward to the Let’s Go to Battle: Samurai Sword Cutting and Armor Shooting experience. We showed up at the location early and on time, excited and ready for the tour. Unfortunately, the place wasn’t even open when we arrived. We waited around for over 30 minutes with no sign of anyone from the tour company. I tried contacting the tour operator through Viator, WhatsApp, and Messenger—absolutely no response. After standing around with no communication and nothing happening, we finally gave up and left. It was a complete waste of our time and money, including the taxi ride we took to get there. I hate leaving negative reviews, but this was incredibly disappointing. Now I have to go through the hassle of requesting a refund. I would highly recommend looking for a more reliable operator if you’re interested in this kind of experience. We were genuinely excited about this, and it’s unfortunate it turned out this way.

    We booked through TripAdviser, Samurai Sword Cutting & Armor shooting. It's 90 mins experience. 60 mins learning with Sword, 30 mins Armor fitting & photo shooting. We had tried all tours in Kyoto (Tea ceremony, Geiko/Maiko, Sumo, Ninja). We couldn't find availability in Kyoto for Samurai, so I booked here in Osaka. I'm very happy I did! This turned out to be the BEST tour experience we had in Japan! Sensei is a very cool person! We felt the experience was authentic, other tours we did were all too touristy...In summary, we love it!! The only issue is that the place is kinda small. It is Ok for us, 3 people in a group, but it might be not as good if you have a large group.

    Fantastic experience. It felt authentic with a nice and relaxed training session. The Samurai came and taught us how to strike with the sword correctly, before graduating to cutting the wet bamboo matt. Finally we dressed up in full Samurai outfits and did some poses. Very fun day
