Shogun battle scene (将軍体験) at NEOLD Private House (ネオールド プライベートハウス) 2024 May 30

We were the first guests to opt for the full Shogun Experience (将軍体験) while staying at NEOLD Private House (ネオールド プライベートハウス, http://www.neold.co.jp), a luxury ryokan located in historic Yoshino, Nara Prefecture, which is less than 2 hours by car from Osaka. NEOLD only accepts one group of guests per stay in an effort to provide a bespoke experience for its customers.

While guests can certainly take advantage of NEOLD as a place to stay, the ryokan's true calling card is in the variety of experiences that it offers. This includes Geisha/Maiko interactions, tea ceremony, Noh (traditional Japanese theater) / Kyogen (a comedic form of Noh) / Tezuma (traditional Japanese magic) performances, Shaminsen (traditional string instrument), Ninja and Samurai training and cosplay, "Himesama" (Princess) cosplay, Calligraphy, Cooking classes and even fishing excursions on the Yoshino River (followed by a BBQ of the freshly-caught fish.)

The Shogun Experience allows one person to dress up in an authentic replica of a Shogun outfit (and armor), while women can dress in traditional "Himesama" (Princess) clothing worn during the feudal era. In addition to the regular staff at NEOLD, for the Shogun Experience they bring in actors and coordinators from Aniki Action Team (https://www.aniki-actionteam.com/) and BJE (BElief JAPAN Entertainment - https://b-j-e.com/), which jointly operate and perform at the Samurai Cafe in Osaka (https://b-j-e.com/samuraicafe/), as well as a professional videographer. The entire stay is documented - this is a short clip of the Shogun battle action scene that was filmed during our stay, featuring yours truly and his better half.
