Samurai Cutting Experience in Kyoto – Champion-Supervised
About this experience
Discover the spirit of the samurai with an authentic 75–90 minute experience in Kyoto. Learn about Bushido and the three symbols of Tachikiri: the Dragon, Daruma, and Yatagarasu.
Write something you wish to leave behind, such as doubt, regret, or bad ties, on a wish tag, then change into a traditional hakama. Watch a live demonstration by a master using a real Japanese sword. After practicing proper techniques with an iaito (training sword), make your final cut and slice through your own wish tag. This is not a religious ritual, but a hands-on experience designed to help you draw a line under the past and take a fresh step forward. Finish with photo time in your hakama and create a unique memory of your time in Kyoto.
