What to expect

Enjoy three Japanese arts in one program in a Tokyo dojo—an unforgettable choice among the Things to Do in Tokyo. Change into a kimono and learn basic samurai etiquette and sword (katana) handling from an expert, then try supervised cutting on prepared targets if you meet the safety conditions. Next, calm your mind with Japanese calligraphy (shodo): practice brush and ink control and create your own name or favorite word in kanji to take home. After the lesson, guests who agree to leave a Klook review can enjoy a simple matcha tea and wagashi sweet tasting. It’s a compact experience that combines action, mindfulness, and flavor, ideal for couples, families with teens, and solo travelers interested in Japanese culture.
