Reviews:

“Absolutely unforgettable! Making a kunai with a master swordsmith in Kyoto is one of the coolest, most hands-on cultural experiences you can have in Japan. From heating the steel in a blazing forge to hammering and shaping it with your own hands, every step feels like stepping into a ninja legend.”

“Staff was very professional and friendly. Had a very fun experience making kunai. Would go there again if given the chance.”

“This class is a must-have experience if you’re into metalworks or Japanese weaponry. The people who guide you through the process are very friendly and sociable.”
