Description complète

Cette expérience de 1,5 heures se déroule à Kyoto. Votre place est retenue auprès de l'opérateur avant que nous considérions votre réservation comme définitive.

Kyoto fut la capitale du Japon pendant plus de mille ans jusqu'en 1868 et compte 17 sites classés UNESCO parmi environ 2 000 temples et sanctuaires. Les trois grands sont Kinkaku-ji, le Pavillon d'or, recouvert de feuille d'or et meilleur à la lumière du matin ; Kiyomizu-dera, la scène en bois sur les collines orientales avec les allées de Higashiyama, Sannenzaka et Ninenzaka en dessous ; et les portiques de Fushimi Inari. Le château de Nijo a les planchers du rossignol qui grincent contre les intrus, et Ryoan-ji le jardin de pierres. Les temples ouvrent vers 8h00 ou 9h00 et ferment à 17h00, et le bus municipal est lent ; une journée avec un chauffeur ou un guide qui ordonne les arrêts contre les foules fait la différence entre quatre sites et sept.

Le prix comprend instructeur, séance photo, serviette « tenugui » et certificat d'achèvement. Il ne comprend pas prise en charge et retour à l'hôtel, nourriture et boissons et pourboires, à prévoir en plus. Tout ce qui est inclus est listé en entier sur cette page ; si quelque chose ne figure pas dans cette liste, considérez que ce n’est pas compris dans le prix.

Le point de rendez-vous et l'heure vous sont envoyés par e-mail dès la confirmation de la réservation. Nous avons besoin d'au moins un jour de préavis et nous confirmons la date avant de considérer votre réservation comme définitive. Si la date ne peut pas être confirmée, nous vous le disons et vous remboursons plutôt que de vous laisser attendre.

Very happy with this experience. There were 2 parts to it: 3 masters performing kenbu theatre based on samurai poetry, which was intense, obviously involving swords and certain themes around life and death of a samurai. The second part was us being instructed by Julia, our guide on the day, on the basic sword moves, dressing up as samurai and performing on stage. This was for the long/full experience, which I highly recommend. The short experience has the same kenbu theatre but very little practice time afterwards.

This was a highlight of our trip. The show was spectacular, very kind and wonderful staff. Myself and my partner ended up being very lucky to be the only two booked in for the lesson and it was AMAZING! The outfits, the choreography and patience from Kika was brilliant. Lots of videos and photos and lovely keepsakes from the experience too. Thank you so much!!! It was amazing!!

We had a fantastic time! It was so much fun getting to pick out what to wear, and learning the steps using the samurai sword. We also loved getting to do the performance at the end! I highly recommend this activity we had a blast and it was one of the highlights of our trip!

The class started with the fitting of a samurai suit. The staff was very attentive and helped with getting dressed in the traditional garments. After that we started the class and learned how to draw the sword, and different forms of attacks and how to holster the sword again. We learned the movements with the fan and even practiced a small choreography. After our class was over our sensei Hisyo took pictures in different poses for us. The Kenbu show at the end of the class was very impressive and enjoyable to watch. As as side note: as a bigger person I had issues in the past with these fitti

As a family we were so impressed how inclusive the session was. The instructors were excellent. They were friendly, fun and patient. I would highly recommend this for families. We were in a group of ten some together and others alone but the session was aimed at inclusivity and teamwork. We learnt so much about the culture and history of the Samurai.

This was a very enjoyable experience overall. It was interactive and felt like actual samurai training, which made it both fun and memorable. My only suggestions would be to slow down the pace a little and reduce the group size, as there were many participants and it sometimes felt rushed. I also wish there had been more costume options available. That said, I had a great time and would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique cultural experience. For younger children under 10, it may be a bit less suitable.

This was a A+ family friendly experience! We got to dress in costumes and learn traditional sword and fan dances. Our teacher was very knowledgeable, funny, and assisted with pictures for our family.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or mid-to-late November for peak autumn foliage. Kyoto sits in a basin and runs hotter in summer and colder in winter than Tokyo, even at a similar latitude. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Kyoto guide.
Kyoto never built an extensive subway — just two lines (Karasuma and Tozai) — so the city bus network does most of the work, especially for Higashiyama, Kinkaku-ji and Ginkakuji. Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama are best reached by JR rail instead. See getting around Kyoto.
Three days covers the essentials well: a day for Higashiyama and Gion, a day for Arashiyama and Kinkaku-ji, and a day for Fushimi Inari plus a Nara or Uji day trip. Our 3-day Kyoto itinerary has the full route with timing.
Arrive by 6:30-7am — the shrine is open 24/7 and free, and most visitors only walk the first 20-30 minutes anyway. Past that point the crowds thin out fast. Full hike details in our Fushimi Inari guide.
Yes — it's a public path with no entrance fee and no set hours. The trade-off is that it gets shoulder-to-shoulder by mid-morning; arrive before 8am for a nearly empty walk. See the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest guide.
Kyoto restricts photography on certain private alleys in Gion after complaints about tourists chasing and blocking geiko and maiko, with fines for violators. Public streets like Hanamikoji-dori remain open, but never chase, touch or block a real geiko/maiko anywhere. Full etiquette in our Gion geisha district guide.
Yudofu (simmered tofu, best near Nanzen-ji or Arashiyama), kaiseki and shojin ryori temple cuisine, and Nishiki Market's stalls of tako tamago and fresh yuba. Uji, just south of the city, is one of Japan's top matcha-growing regions. See the Kyoto food guide.
