Highlights
The only one in Japan! A class where you can learn both swordsmanship and traditional Japanese horseback archery (yabusame) from genuine masters who have perfected their arts.
Around 1000 years ago, the samurai's primary weapon was the bow. 450 years ago, matchlock guns became more powerful, and by 400 years ago at the end of the Sengoku period, their main weapon shifted to swords. In this class, you'll learn swordsmanship and archery from a master instructor, and even get to handle an antique matchlock gun.
