SAMURAI & NINJA SESSIONS IN OSAKA · Japan
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 samurai & ninja sessions in Osaka that earn their slot, each with a price, a traveller verdict and the one thing to know before committing.
Train Kendo in Osaka in a real samurai dojo, suit up in armor, learn basics with a shinai, spar safely, and get photo and video souvenirs.
“Very fun experience, got taught a lot about kendo generally not just the combat aspect, the husband and wife team running this activity are humorous and informative, if you are unsure book immediately it is well worth the money.”
Osaka Night Fusion blends taiko, kabuki, and samurai with dance music in an interactive show at Tempo Harbor Theater, from $40.
“Amazing show! Deserve a lot more views! Super highly recommended, had. A lot of fun!!”
Train in full Kendo armor in an Osaka dojo, learn Reiho and basic strikes, spar safely, then get dojo photos with Samurai props.
“I truly enjoyed this activity. Staff taught us about history of samurai and kendo. And we competed with other guests!!! It was also fun 🤩 If there is anyone who wants to experience Japanese culture, I highly recommend this experience!!!!”
Walk Osaka Castle’s samurai and shogun sites on a 3-hour English-led tour with Nishinomaru Garden, Miraiza Osaka-jo, and Hideyoshi shrine.
“Our guide was very knowledgeable and nice to talk to. He provided a lot of historical and cultural insight to the stories he told us. He helped to make our first trip to Osaka memorable. BTW, we went on the tour early in the morning. It turned out to be a great decision.”
Pick the kind of day first. The tour comes second.
