If you are interested in Japanese history, have you thought of once that  "I want to be a Samurai?” Actually, there is one place you can be a Samurai in this big city, Shibuya. This time, the 3 foreigners: Imad from French, Jaasir from England, and Zero from Hong kong reported us the exciting experience they had it today!

All  “From now we will dress in Samurai and walk down Shibuya street! Let`s go!”

“Can be a Samurai”, that dream will come true at here in “Samurai Armor Photo Studio.” The armor the customers can wear at this photo studio are all real armors used in movies and television! By the hands of craftsmen, the armor actually used by Samurai is faithfully reproduced.  At here,  the customers can experience the indoor shooting,”Samurai Armor Studio Shooting Course” or indoor and outdoor photo shooting,”Shibuya Street Shooting Course.” This time, they have selected the one walking down Shibuya street with thier armors, ”Shibuya Street Shooting Course♪”（※Reservatiom is required from the main website).

The studio is located a 10 minutes walk from Shibuya station. In the 7th floor stories building, when we entered the studio, the person who welcome us is  friendly staff wearing the Sengoku period clothes!

Moreover, the staff who will guide us  today can able to speak English, so even for whom are not good in Japanese, no need to worried.  Thanks for guiding us today, and nice meeting you!

Being overwhelmed by the presence of armor; first the staff will give them  the knowledge of the armors and the histories related to the Samurai. As we know about  the knowledge of the history background;  we can feel more attractive during we are trying the armors on. Certainly, all the explanation are included in the course. The explanation do to the staff is very interesting and easy to understand. Three of them are listening very seriously ...

After they acquired knowledge, lets move on to dressing! The armor is made up of various parts, we connect them together,  and let them be put together on the body while assembling it .The staff will explain the meaning of each parts and how to wear while trying it on. What Jaasir selected is this! When he actually have armor he said, “Very hard!” with surprised.

Then this is how the 3 dresssed in Samurai! Looks sharp!

Lets move to the indoor photo shooting booth and start shooting. The staff will suggest the cool poses,  so all can be proffesional. Definately, we assumed that all of them can feel like become a magazine model!

After they fully enjoyed the indoor photo shooting, lets go to Shibuya street♪

It is quite strange to see  3 of them are wearing armors and walking down the present big city in Japan.

Walking toward Hachiko, Shibuya Station, Center gai and etc…

It will give an attention from others with this armors and walking the Shibuya diagonal crossing!

Maybe I can say that they are enjoying Japan so much in Shibuya so far…?

Actually, there is a scene that foreign tourists requested for photos  like they become stars.

Seem all 3 are full of satisfied,  after spent about 2 hours of “Shibuya Street Shooting Course.”

“Not only just taking normal poses, but also we had opportunity to ask the professional photographers to take our photos of walking the famous Shibuya diagonal crossing! It was great experienced I had, so if there is someone who is interest in Japanese Samurai I really want to introduce to everyone!!”  

“I was surprised that I never thought I can wore Samurai armor here in Tokyo. The first armor I put on was only 20kg, but the real one is 40kg! The staff are very friendly and can able to speak English so I did not have to worried about language barriers. In photo taking, we can borrowed the clothes we need to wear under the armors, the swords, folding fans, and small accessories. We do not need to bring anything at all! This time, I am happy that I had opportunity to experience the photo shooting with the aromor! Definately, I will recommend!!”

All the photos are given by SD card, so no need to worry about carrying the pictures on your way back. Moreover, the kids and ladies can also wear the armors.
