What to expect

What is an Iaito?
An Iaito is a specialized practice sword used in the Japanese martial art of Iaido (the art of drawing the sword).

An Iaito is a specialized practice sword used in the Japanese martial art of Iaido (the art of drawing the sword). While it looks nearly identical to a real Japanese sword (Shinken), it is specifically designed to be non-sharpened for safety during training.

Most Iaito are crafted from a high-quality zinc-aluminum alloy. This material is intentionally used because it cannot hold a sharp edge, meaning it is not classified as a weapon under Japanese law and does not require a permit.

Dress Like a Samurai: Begin your journey by donning the traditional Samurai hakama. Feel the history and honor in every fold of this iconic attire.

Learn Iaido Techniques: Under the guidance of skilled instructors, master the basic Iaido techniques with a replica sword. Experience the precision and discipline that defines Samurai training.

!Children under 10 can not enter the samurai venue.!
!You can reserve maximum 5 people from Viator however we accept any other booking site and there will be more participants in your experience!
