About Tokyo Samurai Adventure ICHI

Nice to meet you. I’m Dai

The representative of the Samurai performance team “Katanayaichi“

As preservers of Japanese culture, we perform non-verbal Samurai performances around the world. So far, we have showcased our performances in 26 cities across 15 countries. Our sword-fighting performances are designed to be experienced through all five senses.

Having visited many countries, I’ve received so much support from people around the world. I’ve always wanted to give back to the foreign visitors who come to Japan. It was during this time that I was presented with the idea of creating something using a Taisho-era Japanese house.

I began thinking about what kind of space we could create. When traveling abroad, you usually visit tourist spots first. While fun, those spots lose their value after repeated visits.

I value meeting new people and experiencing their everyday lives. On one of my trips, I had the chance to visit someone’s home. Their mother cooked a meal for me, and while enjoying the food, listening to her proud descriptions of it, I truly felt like a part of the group. It was such a delightful experience.

Inspired by that experience, I created a space where visitors can immerse themselves in Japan’s everyday culture. Located in Tsukishima, Tokyo, our studio is housed in a historic Taisho-era building. While Tsukiji’s food walks are wonderful, I encourage visitors to also explore our Samurai Experience or Cosplay Photo Studio in Tsukishima.

With our unique omotenashi (Japanese hospitality), we aim to share the beauty of Japan’s culture, bringing joy to both international visitors and the local community.
