The samurai sword dance lesson was a really fun and great experience. The instructor did pay special attention to every participant and made sure we learnt and understood. The staff was very polite. We also dressed in amazing costumes which gave us an authentic feel. We clicked lot of pics and got prints of our photos as a token from the staff. It's a must have experience when in Kyoto.

We got to learn a few sword moves and a short dance sequence. We got dressed up for about 30 mins in the Samurai costume. After dressing up, they took photographs. After we practiced the dance, we each got a chance to perform.

I would say, if you are looking for cutting straws, this is not the class. But, it is a fun exposure to samurai culture.

I'm part of an international marriage so as a present for my husband, who likes the Last Samurai, and my children, we participated in the simple lesson 1-hour course during our sightseeing in Japan.

At first, I was worried about the possibility of the instructor being someone who only aimed to entertain foreign visitors in a silly way. However, the instructor was well-spoken, taught swordplay and answered questions properly and guided everyone well. The important points of the lesson were all understood. My husband and children who participated as well as me, who only observed, were all very satisfied with the lesson.

I will definitely recommend this to my samurai-loving friends that are traveling to Japan.
