Art and soul of the sword samurai experience

Discover the world of the samurai, which dominated Japan for seven centuries until 160 years ago. Discover Iaido, the predominant art of swordsmanship honed by these warriors.

Upon arrival at the Iaido dojo, you'll change into traditional samurai attire complete with a sword. Under the guidance of a master, you'll gain an understanding of what Iaido truly entails, immerse yourself in the flow of the experience, and even get to slash a man-shaped cardboard with your sword. Those who participate will have the opportunity to enhance their experience by attempting to cut a rolled tatami mat with a real sword.

To conclude this immersive journey, you'll witness a solo demonstration by the master himself. Observations of his skill up close will leave you in awe, particularly after having experienced wielding a sword yourself. Upon completion, you'll receive a certificate as a memento of this extraordinary encounter with samurai culture.
