Today, that sword is called the "samurai sword. ➤Try your hand at sword cutting with a real Samurai sword.Experience the world's best cutting performance. 【Preparation】 The Japanese sword is the most effective blade to date and can only be worn by Samurai. First, change into a Samurai costume (dogi and hakama) and become a Samurai. 【Explanation of swords and Samurai manners】 □The relationship between the Samurai and the Japanese sword. From an early age, he learned how to use a sword and was allowed to wear a serious sword belt at the age of 15. At that time, he becomes aware of his self-respect and the responsibility of carrying a deadly weapon. The sword is the soul of the samurai and cannot be sold, even if it starves to death. □Practicing the belt and the samurai's walk 【Practice the basics with the iai practice sword】 □Learn and practice the basic stances of the sword □Swinging the sword from the stance □Battou and Nottou □Iaijutsu 【Trial Slashing】 □Try your hand at sword cutting with a real Japanese sword!

Activities,2 Samurai armor not only serves as a tool for protection, but also as a sign of status and prestige. ➤ We may have seen samurai armor, but we rarely had a chance to wear it. A photo was taken with the armor to commemorate the Samurai experience. Spear : thrusts Naginata : to swing and cleave. Gunbai : A fan-shaped tool used to signal the advance or retreat of an army on the battlefield. 【Samurai Armor Experience】 □Samurai wear armor to protect themselves from spears, swords, and bows and arrows when going into battle. In April 1615, the Tokugawa forces marched on Osaka Castle. The "Osaka Summer Campaign" begins here. You, a member of Toyotomi's side, will wear armor and helmet to participate in the battle. You will be the best soldier in Japan and shoot indoors. □Photo shooting of samurai in armor fighting style. 【Souvenirs】 Please take home a piece of straw that you cut in a test cut as a souvenir. 【End of Experience】 Dismissal at Samurai Honor
