Definitely one for the bucket list.. what a great experience this was, one of the highlights of our Japan trip. Our teacher was passionate about his art and it showed through his teaching, and spoke English fluently having studied in the USA. We had a great time understanding the history and art as well as time to practice before the final event of using an authentic samurai sword (these things cost thousands of dollars) and are extremely unique and sharp! We each had time to cut a rolled up mat several times, which was all captured on a go pro and sent to us digitally (included in the package) Booking process was very easy, and the team was ready for us when we arrived. Location is convenient, walking distance from Osaka’s main train station and easy to find. The studio is very well maintained, clean and has a very large training room upstairs. I cannot emphasise enough how much you need to do a samurai experience at least once in a lifetime.. Just make sure you are ready before doing the “final cut”

One of the best excursions my husband and I experience. The Sensei here English is superb and what a cultural experience you get to do not as expensive as Kyoto but you get to have a more intimate experience in a beautiful location. It was exhilarating to hold a real Japanese sword and even kept cut with it was amazing. The studio itself is very clean and the stained glass window is Simply Beautiful. Will come and get if in Japan I would highly suggest it.

This was an amazing experience! One I would recommend for anyone. The staff was unbelievably hospitable and welcoming. They dress you in samurai gear then teach you what it means to be a samurai and how to use a sword like one. Once you learn the basic steps you have a mini photoshoot and meditation. Then onto the coolest part, chopping a a bambooesque mat. When you currently through it, it's an amazing feeling. They even have a sword from WWII era. I have nothing but fantastic things to say about this place. If you have the opportunity to go, do it!!!

▶ #大可certificate ◀ Anyone who loves to play samurai games must go!!!!! At present, very few people in Taiwan know about this place. But there is a Taiwanese clerk in the store (huh?😂) I have to say it’s really worth it!!! I thought I would prefer the kimono experience Unexpectedly, the entire planning of the samurai experience can only be given full marks. The process of learning Bushido is just to practice hard The staff will help take photos Then send it to us before get off work that day Unexpectedly, I also helped with editing!!!!! From product to experience to service Even the entire environment is created Only awesome can be described No wonder it’s a little more expensive 😂 Thanks #lastsamurai #Japan #Osaka #Samurai #Experience #japan #osaka #samurai #experience

Great 90 minute class on basic Bushido and samurai culture, with the participant dressing up and practicing sword techniques to slice a tatami mat at the end! All the staff there were incredibly friendly and funny and were real engaged with giving you a real memorable experience.

Without a doubt a true highlight of our three week trip to Japan. My wife and I both throughly enjoyed the experience which included learning about the Samuri Code of conduct, dressing up in the traditional attire and of course learning how to use the Katana. The climax was using a real Katana to cut through damp bamboo mats which was a spine tingling experience. The instructors spoke great English and were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for an unforgettable experience!

It was a very valuable experience.

A great experience. I would definitely recommend it

My 13 year old son and husband took a Bushido class here during our recent trip to Osaka and they both loved it. It helped my son develop some confidence (even with just one lesson) and both of them said their arms were a little sore the next day, so it must have been a good work-out, too. :) Highly recommend.

Overall I would rate the experience 5/5! I saw a few of the pictures on various websites and had high expectations of the experience but actually being there blew me away. We spent the previous day touring Kyoto visiting temples learning about the samurai culture and we were looking forward to actually holding a sword and practicing with a master. Location 5/5! The studio we visited in Osaka has two levels with the top level being an open hardwood area for practicing. After the experience was over, Yasuaki also gave us some advice about places to visit in Osaka that was nearby. Last Samurai Staff and Yasuaki 5/5! Everyone at Last Samurai were so polite and kind. One of the best parts about the experience is that they will take pictures and video of you so you can actually enjoy the experience and not have to worry about your phone or camera. We really appreciated their enthusiasm and the fact that they never gave up on us. They constantly cheered us on while we attempted to cut the tatami mat and with their patience and guidance we were able to succeed!

Fun ~ good!

Amazing experience. For 10k yen you get a short samurai/Bushido course, learn how to use a katana sword and even chop some sticks with a real sharp katana sword. They take pictures and video for you. The instructor spoke English well and everyone was super friendly. We booked time online. Highly recommended!

Great katana experience! Thanks for the useful instructions 😊

Definitely a must try experience if you're in Osaka. All the staffs are very friendly and spoke English well. They teach you a brief samurai course where you get to meditate and try a few movements with a fake katana. The highlight of the activity is that you get to cut down the rolled tatami with a real katana. They even take pictures and video for you. Highly recommend this!!

WHAT AN EXHILARATING CULTURAL EXPERIENCE!!! My friend and I just finished a session on Friday, and it was such a thrill! But it wasn't just about swinging a sword around, before the lesson our Sensei Yasu (Not sure if I spelled it correct hehe) explained to us The Seven Virtues of Bushido. He taught us the proper way of holding a sword (You won't be using a real sword during practice), and the very basics. Everyone working there were very friendly, polite and fun; including our Sensei, who would laugh along with us and has an upbeat attitude that puts you at ease. You don't have to worry about pictures, because the staff will take your pictures and record you for the final activity when you get to use a real katana to cut a rolled Tatami Mat 😊 Everyone there were also fluent in English and very accommodating. My Samurai sword-wielding dreams came true today, thanks Last Samurai! 😁 And I even get a certificate! ❤ I will definitely recommend this activity to friends!
