Samurai Experience - Learn Bushido through Kendo, in Tokyo
The spirit of Japan endures in Samurai. A Samurai is not a swordsman, but one who carries the sword in the heart. Be Samurai. Only then does Japan reveal itself. Walk the path with Kendo Spirit.
◉Why Kendo?
Kendo is not a sport born from modern design.
It is a living tradition shaped by samurai to survive, transformed to preserve Bushido, and passed down through the body, generation after generation.
It is still practiced today because its spirit is still needed.
Bushido lives on, in its purest form, through Kendo.
◉Who this experience is for
This experience is for those who are curious about Japan beyond the surface.
For those who value discipline, respect, and meaning over entertainment.
For those who want to experience the spirit of Bushido through their body, not just hear about it.
You don’t need kendo experience.
You do need an open mind and a willingness to face yourself.
