Sayo our guide was amazing in her knowledge about Japan, the samurai and the ninja! It was a truly enjoyable and unforgettable experience. Sayo, you are awesome!
Our guide, Mami, was very pleasant and gave en informative tour. We especially liked the Samurai sword experience and of course the Ninja experience was fun for all.
It was very fun! The class was fun but the only thing is I wish there was more time to try things in your own. You learn how to throw the stars and blow darts with the instructor but you get limited try’s for each tool.
Sho and sayo were amazing guides!! So knowledgeable and entertaining
I went to the museum with my family and, as soon as we arrived, I asked for permission to use the restroom because I had an urgent need. They said NO until the admission tickets had been paid for. My family went ahead and visited the museum, but I chose not to, even though my ticket was already paid, because I felt it was a response that lacked humanity and common sense. It is by no means acceptable behavior for an organization that depends on tourism.
Dear guest, Thank you very much for visiting SAMURAI NINJA MUSEUM and for taking the time to share your review. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and discomfort caused during your visit. As mentioned in our response on Google, our restroom is located inside an area that is only accessible to guests who have completed admission. For this reason, our staff generally guide guests to use the restroom after tickets have been confirmed. However, we understand that urgent situations require more flexible and considerate handling, and we are very sorry that our response caused you distress. We will share your feedback with our team and instruct our staff to assess each situation more carefully. Best regards, SAMURAI NINJA MUSEUM
A must-do experience when in Kyoto. Yuto was our guide and he did an excellent job. Lots of energy, humor and very knowledgable. The museum is not big but very well organised and exiting. Besides looking a all the cool samurai stuff we also throwed ninja stars which really fun. The tour gives lots of information about that age in Japan. Now suddenly movie titles like "the last samurai" makes sense. Highly recommended. BR from the "Aston Martin" guy.
Really good hour spent at the museum learning about Japanese samurai culture, with excellent guide named Tao. Nicely laid out, and the ninja star throwing was pretty cool. Highly recommended
My 4 year old son and husband did the ninja experience. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to watch, as I stayed with our one year old, but they are very accommodating to ensure those not participating can still be included. It was so fun to watch. Our 4 year old LOVED blowing darts and throwing ninja stars! We didn't realize the included tour of the samurai museum would be so comprehensive. We honestly really enjoy how much of Japan's history was explained, but be sure to allow an 90 minutes for the tour after the experience. (and you get to throw stars again!)
Such a fun and memorable Samurai Museum experience in Kyoto with my son and my two little grandsons, ages 2.5 and 4 years old. 🇯🇵⚔️💙 We learned so much about the history of Kyoto, the samurai culture, and Japan’s traditions. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience interesting for both adults and kids. Watching the boys get excited seeing the samurai swords and learning about the warriors of Japan made the day even more special. One of those family memories we will never forget while exploring Japan together.
Yto, Our guide was very knowledgeable, we learned a lot of history in a short amount of time.
