Something a little more action-packed than the typical kimono stroll photo shoot<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Kyoto\u2019s<\/strong> connection to Japan\u2019s history and traditional culture is the main thing that draws travelers to the city, and so there are a number of photo studios and services that can arrange for you to have your picture taken while wearing classical attire. Shogun Studio Japan<\/strong> is one of them, but what sets it apart from others is that they\u2019ll not only photograph you as you pose in serene surroundings, but also as you fight a samurai battle in full armor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Starting with the more orthodox part of the package, the Samurai Battle Movie Experience<\/strong> begins with a choice of armor and fitting at the company\u2019s studio, after which you\u2019ll head to your choice of one of three locations in Kyoto\u2019s historical Arashiyama<\/strong> district, either the Togetsukyo Bridge<\/strong>, the iconic bamboo forest paths<\/strong>, or a traditional teahouse.<\/p>\n \u25bc The teahouse might not be as famous as the other two options, but it does<\/em> include matcha for you to sip during the photo shoot.<\/p>\n For the second half of the package, though, you\u2019ll head up into the mountains, and to battle<\/strong>. Following safety explanations, you\u2019ll be given access to an arsenal of swords, spears, and bows<\/strong> with which to stage a dramatic samurai cinema-style fight scene in a secluded venue.<\/p>\n To add to the immersion, Shogun Studio Japan\u2019s staff can play the roles of your fated opponents, falling against your onslaught<\/strong>. Alternatively, they can take up arms as your faithful companions, and if you\u2019ve already got a crew of friends with which to make you own samurai clan, that\u2019s doable too, as the package can accommodate groups of up to six participants<\/strong>. In addition to still photos, you\u2019ll also get a slickly edited short movie, two to three minutes in length, of the battle that includes drone footage of you in action.<\/p>\n The whole experience lasts around two hours, split roughly equally between Arashiyama and the mountain battlefield. Reservations can be made through the Shogun Studio Japan website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source, images: PR Times<\/a><\/em> Something a little more action-packed than the typical kimono stroll photo shoot.
