Samurai Sword Experience
Participants change into traditional samurai clothing, including hakama pants and a kimono-style top, before entering the dojo as samurai trainees. A Samurai Master instructs on grip, posture, sword drawing, and the kata, which is a sequence of precise sword movements. Attendees strike a life-size samurai-shaped dummy with full-power cuts targeting the head, torso, and diagonals. The experience includes an English-guided tour of samurai and ninja exhibits explaining the artifacts. Participants also learn to throw ninja stars and may compete in a family challenge. The session ends with trying on soft samurai armor available for adults and children and taking photos with replica swords.
