We had a great time and they accomidated our group of 7. Very kind and helpful. Great show and learning experience.
Excellent experience. Really informative and interactive. The Kenbu Show at the end was amazing. Would highly recommend
Super experience. The combination of „try it yourself“ and show of „professionals“ was great. Small group size allowed for very individual supervision
This was brilliant. The team brought to life the ancient arts of Samurai sword and fan dancing. We loved the sword technique tutorial and then wearing the traditional costumes. The performances at the end were beautiful and moving
