Absolutely superb afternoon with Yusuke. Spiritual, relaxing, fun and exciting. A warm welcome followed by a real mix of tradition and of course a good dose of swordsmanship.

Quisimos pasar por lo menos una noche cerca del monte Fuji y nos hubiésemos quedado alguna más. La zona es preciosa y tranquila, ideal para descansar del bullicio de las grandes ciudades durante tu visita a Japón. Es 100% recomendable esta experiencia ya que durante 3h30 puedes conocer una auténtica casa Samurai de hace 150 años, ver cómo el maestro practica la ceremonia del té y puedes incluso probarlo. La experiencia Samurai nos encantó. Nos permitió conocer mucho más sobre su cultura. Después de calentar y practicar con las katanas, pudimos pasear por el bosque, meditar y escuchar música en directo que interpretan el maestro y su mujer. Sentimos mucha paz. Luego además volvimos a escuchar su música en un mirador al monte Fuji. Fue muy bello porque nos permitió conocer la zona, su naturaleza, cultura y costumbres. Nos trataron de forma muy familiar y cercana. Repetiríamos sin lugar a dudas.
