What to expect

・Experience the essence of Bushido, the Way of the Samurai, wearing traditional keikogi training attire, under the direct guidance of Master Matsunaga, the 18th headmaster of Musashi’s “Niten Ichi-ryu.” ・Enjoy matcha green tea and Japanese sweets while learning about the spiritual philosophy of Iaido — the art of perfecting swordsmanship not for battle, but for protection and self-discipline. ・At the end of the session, you’ll receive a personalized “Samurai Training Certificate” and an original tenugui (Japanese hand towel) as a special gift. ・The experience takes place just a short distance from Kumamoto Castle, making it easy to combine both for a memorable visit.
