Overview

Unlike typical sword shops, this shopping experience offers direct access to a dojo where real Kenjutsu is practiced and taught. You’ll be guided by a martial arts expert and assisted by Let's ask Shogo, a popular YouTuber with over 1.8 million followers and 10+ years of Iai (katana budo) experience. The katana you’ll see are hand-selected by a master—some crafted over 600 years ago. Whether you’re a collector, martial artist, or simply fascinated by samurai culture, this is a rare chance to discover a katana with true soul and history. Upon confirmation of your booking, we will send you crucial details about the experience. A reply is strictly required. *This experience is strictly intended for those who are seriously considering purchasing a Japanese katana. Please do not book a session if your only purpose is to meet Shogo or simply to look at katanas.

The entrance to the venue is located down the spiral staircase next to “Red Rock Kyoto Rokkaku Street.” At the top of the stairs, you’ll see a blue gate, and at your feet, there’s a mat that says “Samurai Training.”
