150 mins Deep Samurai Experience near Osaka Castle

Must-Do Japanese Tour!

I very highly recommend this tour to everyone who travels to Osaka or Kyoto! It is worth every penny. You will learn a kanji of your choice, getting lots of practice then making a large poster of it. You will learn and practice some movements with an iado sword. Then you’ll do a tea ceremony. The highlight was wearing samurai armor and walking all around Osaka castle getting professional pictures taken by the provided photographer (and our photos were taken by LoTs of tourists!). So, you also get a tour of the outside of Osaka castle and its grounds. The professional photographer did a fanatic job taking pictures of all the experiences on this tour. Definitely a highlight of our vacation in Japan!!

Really amazing

A personal and authentic experience with lovely people and an amazing background of the Osaka Castle

SAMURAI!!!!

A wonderful space where you can become a samurai! It was like entering the world of anime! ! I'm glad I was able to experience something unique to Japan! !

All you need to feel like a real samurai

It was very complete, we learned a lot about the bushido and about the samurai. Also we received printed pictures and wore a samurai armor replica. It was amazing!

A fun of samurai experience

What is the appeal of SAMURAI HONOR? ️In response to this question, I think that not only can you learn about Japanese samurai culture in detail, but you can also take very cool photos at the end!! ️For me, the instructor not only carefully taught me about samurai culture, but also took a cool photo of me and gave me a photo as a gift when I got home!! ️It was so much fun that I would like to go again if I have the chance!! ️

Great experience. Thank you Samurai Honor.

It was an once a lifetime experience. The explanations were very good and easy to follow. Staff was very friendly. I could experience the sword fight techniques of Samurai and felt good in Samurai armor. Osaka castle tour guide also a great learning experience for me. And, they gave me a photos taken by a professional photographer. Highly recommended.

The ultimate samurai experience

It was a very satisfying samurai experience, with swordsmanship (iaido), tea ceremony, calligraphy (using large paper and brushes), and a photo shoot wearing armor from the Warring States period. It was a great memory from my trip. Next time I'll go with friends. I highly recommend it for trips to Osaka.

It was my first experience wearing armor.

The shop was located a 15-minute walk from Osaka Castle. In addition to experiencing martial arts, tea ceremony, and calligraphy at the shop, we also had the opportunity to try on realistic armor and have our photo taken with Osaka Castle in the background. The best part was that we were able to get lectures from professionals in each field. Thank you very much!

Bushido experience

I've been interested in history since I was a child, and when I saw a website featuring someone wearing the armor of Sanada Yukimura, who fought in the Siege of Osaka, I couldn't help but come and try it out. The shop is close to Osaka Castle, so it was very easy to get to. The experience included iaido, tea ceremony, calligraphy, a stroll around Osaka wearing armor, and having my picture taken by a professional photographer, so I could feel like a samurai and have some memories to last me. I was very satisfied with the valuable experience.

This is a true Samurai!

When I was a student, I studied history without much thought! Samurai! At that time, I only studied it without much thought~ But!! This time, I became a samurai myself!!! It was a full-fledged experience! It wasn't a fake or imitation experience like you see everywhere, but a full-fledged experience of wearing armor, experiencing Iaido with a Japanese sword, and Japanese tea ceremony. Now, after looking back at it through SAMURAI HONOR, I want to learn more about samurai as a Japanese person. As far as I know, the only place that offers such a detailed experience is SAMURAI HONOR, which is located near Osaka Castle!!

I was able to understand the profound meaning of swords.

The sword handling of the Iaido instructor was very cool. It made me want to learn more about swordsmanship. There was an English-speaking interpreter who explained things in detail. You can also experience tea ceremony and calligraphy. Perhaps because it's a new store, operations were a little slow, but I was satisfied.

it was fun!!!

It was a really fun experience for me, and it was my first time. The teaching method was very gentle and they taught me step by step. Thank you for the valuable experience! I'm Japanese, but this is the only place I can experience this, so I recommend everyone to try it too!!

About becoming a samurai

I went because I have always been interested in the unique Japanese worldview of samurai. I was planning to go mainly to take photos, but I thought I might as well try it out! I went and it was amazing, I felt like I was not myself, it was a time when I could become a real samurai! I would definitely like to participate again!

A dreamlike samurai experience

I wore real armor and had my photo taken at Osaka Castle. It was a valuable experience that I couldn't get anywhere else, including Iaido and samurai tea ceremony. The location was also easy to get to, about a 5-minute walk from Osaka Castle Park Station. The hospitality of the staff was also good. I also recommend calligraphy.

It was an innovative and high quality Bushido experience.

It was an innovative and high-quality experience. The armor and swords were also made authentically, so you could experience what it was like to be a samurai. You could also take photos at Osaka Castle, where you could wear armor and pretend to be a samurai, which is different from a regular studio photoshoot. At the end, you will be presented with a large calligraphy piece and a photo taken by a professional photographer, making it a lifelong memento.

Samurai puts his sword down outside and drinks tea

There are times when you wish you could somehow recover from your failures or mistakes and start over from a saved point like in a game, and you think how much easier it would be...Through using the Japanese T, I learned the importance of taking a break at times like that.
