1. Armor
Choose Your Warrior Style
We have over 20 sets of samurai armor available. At any given time, 8–10 are on display in the studio, rotating monthly. You can choose the armor of your favorite shogun or warlord, and our NINJAAAZ team will assist you with dressing. Each guest may wear one set of armor, and the price is the same regardless of your choice. If you can’t decide, let your inspiration guide you!
2. Movie & Photo
Film cinematic videos and photos
If you already have an idea for your video, we will build the camerawork and structure around that vision. If not, don’t worry—we’ll create direction that matches the scene and atmosphere, resulting in a natural and captivating video. During filming, you can freely add your favorite poses or comments, making your movie truly original. After shooting, we’ll edit it into a cinematic 2-minute film. Together, we’ll create a one-of-a-kind Samurai Movie just for you! For photography, our studio is dedicated to authenticity—we never use composites or digital alterations. Instead, we focus on bringing out your true presence with professional lighting techniques that skillfully balance light and shadow. The result is cool, sophisticated photos that capture your essence, as if taken straight from a movie scene.

4. Location Shooting
Battle Scene Photoshoot・Sightseeing Photoshoot
@ Battle Scene Photoshoot
We’ll take you deep into the mountains to a real battlefield-style location for an unforgettable shoot. Before we start, we’ll carefully teach you how to handle the sword and explain the filming process, so you can relax and enjoy the experience. Come with your friends or family and split into teams to begin your Samurai movie shoot! Of course, solo participants are more than welcome. In that case, our staff will take the role of your enemy and perform dramatic “defeated” scenes for you (laughs). The session lasts about one hour, using swords, bows, and other props for a full-scale action shoot. It’s an experience you rarely get to try, so we’re sure you’ll have a great time! Your footage will be edited into a short movie of about two minutes. All files will be delivered via Google Drive. Our studio is the only place in Japan where you can wear real armor and film your own Samurai movie. Let’s create an unforgettable memory of your trip to Japan together!

SHOGUN WALKER ®︎
Rent samurai armor and freely stroll around Arashiyama
The armor available for rent is not an antique display piece or made of plastic — it’s the real deal, crafted from iron by professional armor artisans. However, it has been specially modified for comfort, allowing you to walk easily and enjoy your outdoor adventure. Once you see and feel it in person, you’ll be amazed by its solid weight and surprising mobility. The plan includes a complete set of items necessary for the samurai experience — armor, tabi socks, and more — with a rental duration of 90 minutes. You’ll have a one-of-a-kind samurai experience, exploring Arashiyama’s iconic spots such as Togetsukyo Bridge and the Bamboo Grove in full samurai attire. This plan is perfect for those who want the freedom to fully enjoy the samurai spirit in their own way.
