Overview

This program is guided by the 19th‑generation head of the Musashi Clan, the only remaining clan that served the Tokugawa Shogunate for 265 years. This direct lineage offers guests an exceptionally rare opportunity to learn from a tradition that has been preserved and transmitted continuously since the Edo period.
As a licensed interpreter, the clan head provides real‑time interpretation and expert cultural explanations, ensuring that international guests can fully understand the meaning, symbolism, and historical context behind each practice.
This cultural experience reveals the authentic cultural heritage of samurai and ninja through traditional attire, etiquette, historical tools, and philosophical teachings. Guests gain insights normally shared only within long‑standing samurai lineages.
The program can also be customized for groups, schools, and corporate teams, with the option for our instructors and interpreter to deliver on‑site cultural training at your location.

What to expect

This course is designed for guests who seek cultural insight rather than physical training.
Guided by a kunoichi (female shinobi), this experience introduces the Japanese mind through traditional warrior culture.
It begins with changing into authentic shinobi–samurai attire, inviting you into the atmosphere of shinobi culture.

You will explore symbolic tools and clan heritage stories that lead into an Introduction to samurai history and the refined etiquettes for appreciating swords.

Then come visual demonstrations of the Earth–Water–Fire–Wind–Heaven principles, each followed by an explanation of how the movement expresses the clan’s approach to teamwork, balance, and awareness.
Participants are invited to try some of the techniques.

Earth: Namba walk for grounded stability
Water: Short sword flow for adaptability
Fire: Mindful shuriken throwing for focus and the flexibility essential for survival
Wind: Sleeve‑bow movement representing quiet, unseen efforts that support others without drawing attention
Heaven: Attuning to stillness to cultivate concentration, posture, and harmony between body and mind

A commemorative photo with a battle jacket concludes the experience.
