Overview

Train in Centuries-Old Samurai Swordsmanship
This is not a show. Learn real techniques from the Sengoku era—etiquette, breathing, posture, strikes, blocks, and focus—taught by the tsurugi samurai squad.

Face the Demon (Oni) — Battle Inner Darkness
The Demon reflects fear and weakness within.
In a dramatic finale, confront it in a symbolic clash of spirit and shadow.

Live a Samurai Fantasy Story
Follow four chapters: [Prologue] → [Training] → [Battle] → [Recognition].
You’re not a spectator. You’re the hero.

Receive a Scroll with Your Name
At the end, receive a scroll with your name and the skills you’ve gained—proof you now carry a sword in your heart.

English-Friendly & Family-Ready
Fully in English. Great for solo travelers, couples, and families.
Wear armor, take photos, and explore real Japanese spirit.

Will You Carry the Sword in Your Heart?
More than a workshop—it’s a journey of self-discovery.
Face fear, calm your mind, and awaken your inner warrior.

What to expect

・Hyakki Yakō – The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons
In Japan, it has long been believed that yokai and oni—supernatural beings—wander the world at night.
For centuries, they’ve appeared in scrolls and legends, marching in eerie procession as Hyakki Yakō,
the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
・Demon (Oni) – The Return of Darkness
And now—
the Demon, once sealed in ancient times, has returned to the modern world.
・Tsurugi Samurai Squad – Guardians from the Past
We are the tsurugi samurai squad, warriors who once fought and sealed the Demon.
Now that the seal has been broken, the power to confront and seal it must rise again.
・To You, the Warrior Chosen for This Trial
This is no ordinary activity.
You are chosen to join the tsurugi samurai squad,
to learn ancient sword techniques and the true spirit of the samurai.
In the end, your trial awaits: a confrontation with the Demon.
But remember—
the Demon is not just outside.
It is fear, doubt, and weakness within.
This challenge is not about strength,
but courage—to face your inner darkness and overcome it.
Will you become a true modern samurai?
