Your experience begins with a guided armour dressing session. Learn about each component—the helmet (kabuto), chest armour (dō), and arm guards (kote)—as knowledgeable staff help you transform into a samurai warrior. Discover the significance of each piece and hear tales of the Kikuchi clan's legendary battles and honour code.

With your armour complete, enjoy a professional photoshoot in traditional settings. Pose like a warrior inside the venue, or step outside to the grounds of Kikuchi Shrine, where samurai once walked. The shrine's majestic trees and historic atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable photos.

Conclude your experience with Kikuchi's signature combination of natural wellness and regional culture. Soak your feet in a therapeutic foot bath filled with water from Kikuchi Onsen—recognised among Japan's Top 100 Hot Springs for its exceptional quality and abundant flow. While the mineral-rich hot spring water rejuvenates your feet, savour Kikuchi's famous green tea, a local speciality that has made this region a celebrated tea-producing area. Accompanied by traditional Japanese sweets, this perfect fusion of Japan's finest hot spring waters, premium regional tea, and samurai tradition creates an unforgettable experience that can only be found in Kikuchi.
