Types of authentic armor
You can experience authentic and impressive samurai armor, recreated based on actual samurai armor.
The appeal lies in being able to choose your preferred outfit from a variety of armor sets, tailored to your physical strength and build.
The children's version is suitable for heights of 110-140cm (adjustable to accommodate up to approximately 150cm). Made of aluminum, it is relatively lightweight at about 10kg.
Adult sizes are generally suitable for those under 185cm tall and weighing under 100kg. We offer the popular "Sasa Narimasa model" made of iron and weighing approximately 20kg, as well as lighter suits of armor.
After choosing your armor, you can finish it off by selecting your favorite accessories such as a sword, spear, or fan.
The entire process, from getting dressed to the finished look, takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Enjoy a special experience where you can become a Sengoku-era warlord in your own unique attire.
