For Travel Agencies
Japanese archery, iaido, kendo and samurai experiences in Nagoya, hosted by real masters in English, plus luxury private and tailor-made tours shaped by the spirit of Bushido. For travellers and the travel agencies who plan their journeys.
Three ways into the samurai spirit
Japanese archery taught by a certified instructor at a traditional dojo. Begin with BUSHIDO JAPAN Mini Archery Experience, our signature introduction for all ages, or go deeper with Authentic Japanese Archery and the full ritual of the long yumi bow.
Draw a katana in iaido, put on the armour of kendo, or learn aikido and karate in a real dojo. Every session is led by a sensei and framed by the samurai code: bow, focus, respect.
Private tours for 2 – 10 guests from Nagoya, with a Bushido-trained guide. Choose a seasonal package or let us build a tailor-made tour, with VIP, embassy, security and Muslim-friendly arrangements on request.

Every BUSHIDO JAPAN guide is trained in the seven virtues of the samurai. Your guests don’t just see Japan, they feel its spirit, from the first bow at the station to the last.
礼Your guide greets the group with a formal samurai bow and teaches guests their first one. Respect is the first lesson of the journey.
仁Before each meal, the guide shares the meaning of itadakimasu: gratitude to nature, the farmers and the cooks. Eating becomes a quiet act of respect.
誠Every experience opens and closes with rei. The guide links each lesson (the bow, the blade, the brush) to a virtue guests can take home.
名誉The journey ends as it began: a closing bow, and one word of Bushido chosen for each guest to carry home.
Private, ready-to-sell land packages for small groups of up to 10, starting and ending in Nagoya. Add your own flights and sell them as a complete Japan holiday.
