You’ll visit a private Kyoto dojo led by a master who trains over 20 students in Kenjutsu, and who handpicks genuine blades, which are hundreds of years old.
With Shogo from the YouTube channel Let’s Ask Shogo (1.8M+ subscribers) by your side as your translator and sword shopping guide, you won’t miss a single detail. Shogo has helped over 50 people purchase their lifelong treasure.
No tourist traps, no language barriers—just a once-in-a-lifetime chance to find the katana destined for you.
