Sword Martial Art Experience in Kakunodate

Free booking, free cancelation.   Don't lose your place.

In Kakunodate, where samurai culture is deeply rooted, dojos still face the samurai residence street, and the area is home to many martial artists. Many people make martial arts a part of their lives, learning and living in the spirit of the samurai.
Iaido is one of the most popular of these and uses the sword, which is said to be the spirit of the samurai. In this two-hour experience, participants will put on a dogi (a special outfit for martial art), master one of the kata of iaido, and learn about etiquette and manners.
At the end of the experience, there is a test cutting with a cardboard doll, which is the most exciting part for the participants.
