Highlights
・Experience the essence of Bushido, the Way of the Samurai, wearing traditional keikogi training attire, under the direct guidance of Master Matsunaga, the 18th headmaster of Musashi’s “Niten Ichi-ryu.”
・Enjoy matcha green tea and Japanese sweets while learning about the spiritual philosophy of Iaido — the art of perfecting swordsmanship not for battle, but for protection and self-discipline.
・At the end of the session, you’ll receive a personalized “Samurai Training Certificate” and an original tenugui (Japanese hand towel) as a special gift.
・The experience takes place just a short distance from Kumamoto Castle, making it easy to combine both for a memorable visit.
Itinerary
1-chōme-6-4 Shimotōri
The following two points are the characteristics of Musashi Miyamoto, the founder of Niten Ichiryu, which you will experience this time. (1) He was a samurai who focused and improved on his artistic sense. He created various works of art, believing that enhancing artistry is the most important way to hone his swordsmanship. Miyamoto Musashi's ink paintings and tsuba (metal sword guards) are stored at the Shimada Museum of Art in Kumamoto City. (2) He mastered his own swordsmanship in order to protect his family and master. As the era changed from the Sengoku period, which was an era of war, to the Edo period, which sought peace, people lived not only to win battles, but also to master swordsmanship in order to protect and keep the peace. This style of swordsmanship and spirituality is Iaido.
