Most places around Japan are not comfortable with letting guests handle expensive and sharp katanas. However here you can cut with a live blade after minimal instruction even without prior experience or rank in kendo. Plenty of time handling the swords. Instructor is kind, experienced and speaks English just fine. 10,000yen for 2hours introduction lesson in kenjutsu and iai, handling katanas, and cutting tatamis all inclusive. Well worth the price. Best if you are booking a hotel in Tamachi, Tokyo so you can attend a lesson in the morning.
