Know before you go

Public transportation options are available nearby Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries Not recommended for pregnant travelers Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health Suitable for all physical fitness levels Please note that the stairs to reach the top of Matsumoto Castle’s tower are steep and narrow. In Japan, authentic katanas are classified as illegal weapons under strict licensing laws. Tourists can see them in museums or specialty shops, but theatrical swords are widely used in performances, training, and during our samurai experience. This activity focuses on proper sword techniques and kata accessible to all including families. It does not involve any type of slicing or cutting of objects. There is no minimum age requirements Children less than 6 years old can participate for free (kid’s outfits and foam swords are included at no additional fees)
