DATE:2017/03/13
Samurai always rank top in the most well known image of Japan viewed from overseas.
As Japanese national baseball players are familiar with the nickname of Samurai JAPAN, there is no doubt that it is one of the identities for Japanese people.
However, there are rare opportunities to actually meet the Samurai culture, so in this article, I would like to introduce the popular spots where you can become "Samurai".
When walking from Gion, you will come across the "Samurai Sword Dance theatre".
When going down the stairs at the entrance of the theatre, a Japanese-style room will remind you of Samurai.
The sword dance is meant as a dance with a sword and a fan, and it is said that the samurai danced for mental concentration and to inspire himself.
Let's have a sword and experience the Samurai culture.
The sword we have for the first time is heavier than we expect so it prepares us.
As a professional instructor will teach you carefully how to remove the sword, you can also be a samurai after the trial is over.
If you want to completely become a samurai, change into the clothes of your choice and let your body and mind become samurai.
Wearing costumes will make your feelings grow much more.
If you take a picture after the experience, it will be a once in a lifetime memory of Kyoto.
What do you think?
Make sure to try the "Samurai sword dance" which dances with swords and fans and helps you experience Samurai culture.
Why not try a new experience in the ancient capital of Kyoto?
Please come and visit when you go to Gion.
Advanced reservation is necessary for this experience.
For details, please check the "Samurai Sword Dance Theatre" website.
