After visiting Japan's only iaido shrine dedicated to the founder of iaido, Shigenobu Hayashizaki Jinsuke, you will learn iaido etiquette and the basic form of iaido, "shohatou," from a high rank iaido instructor, and experience "test cutting," a sword cutting technique in which you use a serious sword to cut a tatami mat cylinder. This is a valuable experience that allows participants to experience the techniques handed down from generation to generation and the Japanese sword.
