★Samurai Experience Report

Here is the report from Mr.Ruben( from Italy ) who experienced horse riding.
It has been a wonderful experience! I would recommend it to everyone who always wanted to feel like a Samurai protecting his castle or those who love taking cool photos.
The view is wonderful and fits perfectly with you new samurai outfit.
I also loved riding the horse, it was my first experience riding but it felt safe and not scary.
