I participated in a Samurai experience that is said to be very popular among foreign tourists, accompanied by two female guides. I thought it would be a light "pseudo" course for foreigners, but it turned out to be quite authentic, giving even Japanese participants a real sense of "training" (which means it was pretty challenging!). Of course, the instructors were professional, kind, and attentive, so it wasn't scary at all! There was also a kunoichi instructor who provided advice on choosing and wearing the kimono. We received tabi socks, and I heard that it's possible to purchase a kimono as well. One of the participants in our following session came dressed in a "NARUTO" costume, which must have been fun for the kids! And the wonderful souvenir is that they film a short play incorporating the techniques and movements we learned! With lines like "What are you?!" and sound effects like "Kakkeen," they send you a professionally shot "starring work," which was incredibly exciting! This is not just nice; it's GREAT! The location is also just a short walk from the tourist spots in Minami, so I definitely want to come back with foreign guests next time!
外国からの観光客に大変人気だというサムライ体験に、女性ガイド二人で参加してみました。外国人向け「なんちゃって」コースだから、と軽く考えていましたが、結構本格的で、十分日本人でも「修行できた感」ありました。(つまり結構むずかしい!)もちろん、先生方のご指導は、本格的かつ優しく丁寧に、でゼーンゼン怖くありませんよ!くノ一先生もいらっしゃって、着物選びから着付けまでアドバイス受けられます。足袋ソックスはもちろんいただけますし、着物を購入することもできるそうです。私たちの後の回のお客様のお一人は「NARUTO」の衣装で参加でした。子供さんにはそれも楽しいですね!そして、なんともうれしいお土産は、教えていただいた型や立ち回りを取り込んだ寸劇をビデオにとっていただけること!「なにやつ!」なんていうセリフ、「カッキーン」なんていう効果音も入り、カメラワークも本格的な「主演作品」を、送っていただき大感激です!!写真だけでなくこれはNICE!いやGREAT! 場所もミナミの観光地から歩いてすぐなので、次回は外国人のお客様とぜひ来てみたいですね!

I took friends who came to travel to Japan.Guidance of the instructor is polite.
They seemed to have had a very fun time.
They brought back the YUKATA of their choice happily.
It's very good they could choose the YUKATA of their favorite pattern.

Joining the Samurai sword fighting class was something ad-hoc for my Kobe/Ariam/Osaka trip last week but turned out it's the highlight of our trip.
My friend and I planned to do the Ninja training experience in Himeji Castle but the training only run in weekend and did not fit our itinerary, so we choose an alternative to take the samurai class in Osaka that runs daily weekday.
We took the 10:30 class and there're were only 2 of us. Great we got all the attention. The class was held in a small studio in a commercial building. When we were there, there're already 5 staff in ninja / samurai customs waiting for us. First thing we did is to choose our samurai outfit and wear it. This was fun already. Then the Samurai master taught us basic moves such as how to hold and kill the sword. After a few time practice and rehearsal, we were put under the video camera and filmed a story of a Samaria attacked by a ninja and killed the ninja later on. The whole role play game was super fun. The 5 staff were all caring and professional. It's not easy to remember all the moves and lines, but it didn't matter as the staff would give you all the hints. After the filming we immediately received the YouTube link of our 'movie'. No worry about the privacy as right before the class we're being asked if we share the photos and videos publicly.
My friend was interested more in shopping the Samurai training before but after the course, she said it's one of the most amazing she did in Japan and didn't regret exchanging her 'shopping' time for this.
Last but not least, the staff even gave us a little surprise after the class. What was that, well am not going to tell you here and wasted it.
I won't hesitate to recommend this Samurai experience course to anyone.
