Live the samurai experience

Samurai Theater Tokyo brings the spirit of the samurai to life with two engaging programs. The “Samurai Experience” allows participants to dress in traditional kimono and hakama, learn sword techniques, and perform a choreographed battle against a villain. Guided by professional actors—many of whom have appeared in historical TV dramas such as the Taiga series—this experience combines authenticity with exciting action. It’s also a great opportunity to capture stunning photos and videos in full costume.

Slash it like a pro

For those seeking a more hands-on challenge, the “Japanese Sword Cutting Experience” offers the rare opportunity to handle a real Japanese sword. Under the careful supervision of professional instructors, you will safely practice iaigiri, the samurai technique of drawing the sword and cutting in one fluid motion. Cutting through tatami mats with precision is a true test of focus and skill, providing a glimpse into the discipline and artistry of Japan’s warriors.

Whether you're wielding a sword for the first time or perfecting your technique, Samurai Theater Tokyo offers an immersive and unique journey into the world of samurai. Don’t miss the chance to take part in this cultural adventure during your Tokyo visit.
