SHIBATA CLAN
Shinobi Samurai Experiences
OUR HISTORY
This organization is centered around the Shibata family, a lineage of samurai who served for generations as hatamoto—direct retainers—of the Tokugawa shogunate, which governed Japan for approximately 260 years from its base in Edo (modern-day Tokyo).
Among the clan were ninja who accompanied the Tokugawa on the perilous Iga Crossing, magistrates who handled foreign affairs, and individuals skilled in intelligence gathering and the crafting of concealed weaponry.
Today, the group applies this specialized knowledge to promote world peace and international goodwill. At our dōjō, we offer immersive cultural experiences that introduce visitors to the traditions of the Shinobi-samurai.
Sadataro Shibata
OUR DOJO
Our dōjō welcomes everyone—from children to special forces personnel, and VIPs from around the world.
We invite you to take home a one-of-a-kind experience.
If even a fragment of that experience stays with you, even just a little, in your journey ahead, we would be deeply honored.
EXPERIENCE IN THE DOJO
EXPERIENCE THE WAY OF THE SHINOBI SAMURAI
Flexible, Personalized Encounters
All plans are open to requests.
Some guests have spent two full hours simply asking questions, and we responded in kind.
Others have sought counsel on managing anger, and we offered techniques from both samurai and shinobi perspectives—one guest left saying, “I found my foothold!”
Some come to learn various forms of meditation.
Others have trained intensively in the art of “snake walking” to prepare for a competition in their home country.
Each visit is shaped by the guest’s needs, and guided by our commitment to presence, adaptability, and care.
