Dedication, history, and unmatched lineage

Our clan is the only surviving shinobi samurai line whose ancestors served the Tokugawa Shogunate for 265 years. After 1868, we continued independently to preserve our identity as shinobi. All training tools are handcrafted within the clan.

Our forebears were shinobi‑samurai who trained local people and escorted Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1582, marking the start of our recorded history.
In this 90‑minute samurai and ninja experience, you follow a traditional flow—ritual, technique, hands‑on practice, and photos—while learning core shinobi‑samurai principles.

Your session is led by the 19th‑generation Musashi Clan Daihyo, who provides real‑time interpretation and cultural explanation, supported by extensive international teaching experience.

This guidance ensures an experience rooted in authentic lineage, cultural depth, and the atmosphere of a true dojo.

A unique cultural experience you can only find in our authentic clan dojo in Japan.
