Highlights
Experience the Spirit of the Samurai — an authentic Iaido journey. Watch a live samurai sword performance by a practicing Iaido master using a real katana and witness the precision and spirit of this traditional martial art up close. After the show, enjoy a guided introduction to Iaido and learn basic sword movements under professional supervision using training swords. Guests can also see and hold an authentic Japanese blade. Iaido is a traditional martial art focused on drawing the sword, striking, and returning it to the scabbard in one smooth motion, preserving the philosophy of the samurai even after their era ended.

About Osaka
Osaka is known as Japan's kitchen, a big-hearted port city of neon canals, street food and a grand castle, with Kyoto, Nara and Kobe close by.
Dotonbori, the canal-side entertainment strip, is the city's beating heart, its giant mechanical crab and glowing billboards reflected in the water. Nearby, the covered arcades of Shinsaibashi and the kitchenware street of Doguyasuji draw shoppers, and Kuromon Market tempts with seafood, wagyu skewers and fruit.
Top-ranked sights in Osaka: Tsutenkaku Tower, Osaka Castle (Osaka-jo), Nara Park (Nara Koen).
