Description

What is an Iaito? An Iaito is a specialized practice sword used in the Japanese martial art of Iaido (the art of drawing the sword). While it looks nearly identical to a real Japanese sword (Shinken), it is specifically designed to be non-sharpened for safety during training. Most Iaito are crafted from a high-quality zinc-aluminum alloy. This material is intentionally used because it cannot hold a sharp edge, meaning it is not classified as a weapon under Japanese law and does not require a permit. Put on the traditional samurai armor and wield a katana at an unforgettable samurai workshop in Tokyo. Get a hands-on sword experience, wear the hakama, and immerse yourself in the Samurai and Ninja Museum. Learn about the history of samurai as you step into the role of this legendary warrior. Suit up in a hakama and learn how to wield a katana with this hands-on workshop. Journey into the past as you explore the Samurai and Ninja Museum, wearing samurai armor and a samurai helmet. Pose in front of several samurai-themed backgrounds for one-of-a-kind photos. Children under 10 can not enter the samurai venue. This tour/activity will have a maximum of 16 travelers.
