Value for money. Friendly staff. Can lift swords and wear basic jacket traditional attire for free. Exihbits are good and huge photo points. History lovers delight as well.
Kazuma and Kotori were amazing and very friendly !
A great experience with a beautiful collection of replicas of the original costumes of the most important emperors, shoguns, and generals in Japanese history. The owner is very friendly and passionate. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this place to discover another aspect of Japanese culture.
The Osaka Samurai Armor Museum, located in Shinsaibashi, displays high-quality replicas of armor worn by famous Japanese commanders.I liked the visit and of course the experience of wearing an armor very much. Other traditional Japanese experiences are available. Not to forget, the staff was great.
We had a wonderful experience in Osaka! I came with my daughters and we all enjoyed it very much. We wore traditional Japanese clothes, tried calligraphy, took part in a tea ceremony, and even played traditional instruments. I also had the opportunity to wear a samurai costume, which was a great experience. The staff took photos for us and everyone was extremely kind and welcoming. Everything was very well organized. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Highly recommended! Yurij, Kira, Jelizaveta.
Our kimono experience was amazing! The staff was so welcoming and knowledgeable, and I was able to be the first male to try on the male version of the kimono. Being the first male to wear a kimono here seemed to amaze the staff and they could not stop complimenting me, it was so kind of them. Samurai show actors and actresses were amazing and engaging, and the other performances were memorable. I cannot recommend this experience enough :)
Thank you very much for enjoying your kimono experience at Michi. We are delighted to hear that you had a great time trying the male kimono and enjoying the samurai show and other performances. We also truly appreciate your kind words about our staff. We will continue striving to provide all our guests with a special and memorable experience. We look forward to welcoming you again to Michi whenever you return to Japan!
This was a wonderful interactive cultural experience. I will never forget being dressed in my kimono with the ladies explaining all the various steps. The calligraphy lesson was also amazing and I will have my amateur efforts framed :).
