Great except the group was too large, our 6 + another 6 + 1. But very informative and we all learned about using the katana

Alors honnêtement c'est très rare pour moi de mettre moins de quatre sur cinq en note.. En point positif: la tenue, le spectacle exceptionnel en deuxième partie. Par contre pour ce qui est de l'utilisation de l'arme j'ai vécu personnellement une activité humiliante. Le guide ne parle pas ultra bien anglais et parle doucement et je ne suis pas bilingue bien qu ayant un bon niveau d anglais. La demonstration d'utilisation d arme de samouraï était un moment où je me faisais tout le temps reprendre car je ne comprenais pas ce qu'il faisait et il me pointait toujours du doigt pour refaire et refaire.. Je tiens tout de même à dire que mon mari a adoré
