Highlights

Learn the art of archery by trying a real Japanese bow (it might be bigger than you are!) and master the techniques of using a single-edged sword. Travel back in time and become a fierce Japanese warrior by changing into a samurai outfit and participating in a fun samurai training. Master will assist you personally. Mini games and funny interactions included. Don't worry if you are a complete beginner! Local guide will adapt to your level fully. Kyudo is a unique Japanese martial art with a long history. You will be surprised how different it is from western archery. The bow is so big it might be taller than you are! Katana is a traditional Japanese single-edges sword. Master the pose and the way of holding it to become the strongest samurai in this hot summer season. Staff will help you to take lots of pictures. To choose both of the training options, please, start by selecting Archery and then add katana as an extra (you will get a discount too then!)

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
