Show all photos
2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

We will film at a battlefield-style location. Before shooting, we will carefully teach you how to handle the swords and how the filming process works, so please feel at ease. You can divide into teams with your friends or family and start filming your own samurai action movie! Solo participants are also very welcome. Our staff will play the enemy role and perform dramatic “getting cut down” scenes for you (lol). Filming time is approximately one hour. You will use swords, bows, and other weapons for an authentic shooting experience. It’s something you rarely get to try, so we’re sure you’ll have a great time! Your footage will be edited into a short movie of about two minutes and delivered to you. Our studio is the only place in Japan where you can wear samurai armor and film your own samurai movie at a battlefield location. Let’s create an unforgettable memory of your trip to Kyoto together!
