Ninja and Samurai Dual Experience 90-Min. : Wear Both Garbs (4 techs) (NS90)
Overview
Licensed interpreter/trainer(s) provides top-notch, real time translation.
Our workshop is for those who want to know more than just have fun. If you want to know our thoughts, history and tradition, you need a reliable interpreter/trainer with specialty knowledge.
With this workshop, you can learn the authentic way of samurai sword handling and techniques and the shuriken (ninja star) throwing at the Musashi Clan Dojo.
Choose either a samurai hakama or the ninja attire to wear.
We focus on introducing our shinobi-samurai principles handed down by our ancestors.
Our clan is the only existing ninja clan whose ancestors served the Tokugawa Shogunate for 265 years. and then in 1868 they became independent so they could continue to keep their identity as shinobi.
Through this experience, you'll also gain a historical insight into both ninja and samurai traditions.

I loved this experience... one of my favorites. I was the only guest signed up so I had a private lesson! After taking after your shoe, you bow before entering the dojoYou sit in front of the instructor who does meditation and shows you the ninja prayer. Then I had the option of wearing ninja or samurai clothes - I chose ninja. Then he went over the different ninja weapons where you can touch them. Then he taught me how to stealthily move like a ninja. I was able to test out my ninja walking skills blindfolded on a mat filled with bells. He made it look easy! Then he taught me samurai movements. We were able to practice with a fake wooden sword. Afterwards, he taught me the shurikan and blow dart. The last event, we simulated me killing an enemy with the blow dart. Lots of fun for a family. The kids can participate, but have to be old enough to follow directions.This was an excellent experience and well worth doing. Good for adults and for teens. A serious session with lots to learn about the Samurai and Ninja. It was enjoyable, interactive and really informative. The translation was excellent too.

This Samarai-Ninja experience is absolutely top notch. We booked a bit ahead of time thinking that it might be sold out, but we were the only family on our day….. it was a divine splurge. We all got to dress in 2 different types of clothing and use tools and learn techniques relevant to the history. The owner is kind and translates everything into perfect English, if you do not speak Japanese. She is from an ancestral line of Samarai/Ninja and the experience provides a unique hands-on experience, as well as a deep-rooted history lesson all in one. Any question that you have is answered with thoughtfulness, insight, and grace. Our son is 12, and this was an amazing experience for him (and us all). He continues to “ninja walk” all over the house today when we ask him to be soft-footed. We will savor the family memories for years to come. Thank you!This experience was awesome.

This experience was awesome. We did the 90min ninja and samurai session. The class was well paced, especially if you have a small party (it was only 3 of us). The history was great. Learning the techniques of the Samurai and dispelling some of the myths of ninjas makes for a extremely gratifying experience. Throwing ninja stars was awesome! I highly recommend this experience for all, but especially those who truly appreciate the art of the old ways!
