What you can expect

Step into the world of the samurai at Sengoku no Niwa, the preserved site of a former feudal lord’s residence. While the original buildings no longer stand, the grounds have been carefully maintained to reflect their historical layout. Begin by donning replica samurai armour, fitted for comfort and realism, and explore the open grounds while capturing memorable photos and videos in a cinematic, timeless setting.

You’ll also have access to the museum, where history and context are brought to life. Next, receive guided instruction in basic sword movements using safe wooden practice swords and iaido-style unsharpened blades. Learn posture, control, and rhythm in a hands-on, immersive experience designed for beginners—no prior sword training required. The focus is on enjoyment, connection to Japan’s samurai heritage, and capturing memorable moments.

This experience offers a unique chance to engage with Japan’s rich cultural legacy safely and memorably, combining storytelling, history, interactive practice, and photo opportunities in one unforgettable visit.
