Press Release Summary: Cultural activities offer unique experiences that you cannot
get otherwise! Activities includes: Samurai Sword Action, Ninja, Taiko Drumming
Course & Asakusa Walk, and more!

Press Release Body: H.I.S. Experience Japan (HEJ) is a subsidiary of H.I.S., a major
travel company in Japan and a travel agency for foreign residents and visitors to
Japan.

HEJ offers a wide range of authentic Japanese cultural experiences. The activities
include: Ninja, Samurai sword, Sushi, Taiko, Calligraphy and Traditional Japanese
Cooking. Most are half-day activities, accessible from any main area in Tokyo, and
are instructed by professionals in a small group setting accompanied by a certified
tour guide/interpreter.

By having a direct relationship with the activity suppliers, HEJ is able to create
quality services and experiences. Customer feedback is reviewed each time and minor
adjustments are made to the activities to increase the participants` satisfaction.
Most of the activities are tailor made only for HEJ and are not mass produced giving
something more personal and a unique service that no other company can offer.

Two of the most popular activities are “Samurai Sword Action” and “A Day in the Life
of a Sumo Wrestler”. Samurai Sword is taught by a group of experts led by Tetsuro
Shimaguchi, the head choreographer in the swordfight scene in the snowy garden in
“Kill Bill: Volume One” and the man who played the role of Crazy 88 (Miki) in the
film. You will learn how to sword fight just like in the movies. In the sumo
activity, you will visit the sumo stable to see early morning practice and eat
Chanko (traditional sumo food) for lunch with the stable master and sumo wrestlers.

HEJ encourages participants to actively engage in the program. The small group
participation makes it easier to have an intimate time with the professionals and
other participants. It will deepen your knowledge and therefore provide a meaningful
and memorable experience in Japan.

Reservations can be made online or by calling an operator +81(3)-5322-8988 (open
Mon-Sun 10:00 - 18:30). The operators will assist you in English and Japanese.
