Master the Way of the Samurai

Samurais are a distinct part of Japan’s culture and it would be a waste to not experience this while in Tokyo. Step into the world of the samurai at Toyama-ryu Bizenkai, where you’ll learn the ancient art of Japanese swordsmanship. Don traditional uniforms and be guided by true masters of the craft as you practice the fundamentals of Japanese swordsmanship. 

Learn the precise techniques of timing, distance, and cutting through targets in this immersive class. You’ll even have the chance to wield the sword in actual cutting practice, honing your skills as you slice through targets. This immersive experience is a powerful way to connect with Japanese history and culture, leaving you with a deeper understanding of the discipline and spirit of the samurai.
