Real Samurai & Ninja Experience in Tokyo, 80‑Min Hands‑On Session
Description
Dedication, history, and unmatched lineage Our clan is the only surviving shinobi samurai line whose ancestors served the Tokugawa Shogunate for 265 years. After 1868, we continued independently to preserve our identity as shinobi. All training tools are handcrafted within the clan. Our forebears were shinobi‑samurai who trained local people and escorted Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1582, marking the start of our recorded history. In this 90‑minute samurai and ninja experience, you follow a traditional flow—ritual, technique, hands‑on practice, and photos—while learning core shinobi‑samurai principles. Your session is led by the 19th‑generation Musashi Clan Daihyo, who provides real‑time interpretation and cultural explanation, supported by extensive international teaching experience. This guidance ensures an experience rooted in authentic lineage, cultural depth, and the atmosphere of a true dojo. If you are joining alone, your booking will be processed as a private lesson.

This was a wonderful and memorable experience - highly recommend. It was the perfect mix of history and hands-on experience. We learned so much and had a great time. We loved hearing about the clan history, the various weapons, dressing as a ninja, trying some skills out. The woman who owns the dojo (whose descended from a great samurai house) and the gentleman samurai and female scribe were great - so kind and knowledgeable.
This was such a highlight of our trip with our two kids (10 and 12). It was a pleasure to meet everyone at the dojo. Such an educational and unique experience. Our interpreter was so knowledgeable and was part of a long line of samurais. We loved this!
Our family loved this experience. In a cool part of Tokyo and learn from a real Samurai clan family. Learn about their history, touch and feel weapons, dress like a samurai and learn basic sword movements. Throw stars, blow darts and learn the ways of sneaking around like a ninja. Kids (12 and 14) loved it. So did parents.
This was one of our kids’ favorite things we’ve done in Japan. So interesting, educational, interactive and fun. It was a great experience for the whole family, even spectators; I would definitely recommend!
All of our team members appreciate your kind review. This means a lot to us. Have a nice day.
We loved this experience. We learned about the history of the family as ninjas, saw the unique antique weapons and learned how to use some ourselves. It was fascinating and well worth it!!
We appreciate your 5-star review. Your instructor and interpreter thank you very much.
This was an amazing experience! Highly recommend! This is not a play fighting sword touristy experience. You learn about the ninja life, tools they use and how to use them. The master and his assistant were great. She translated everything in English even though the master spoke English just fine. Definitely use Google maps to find the location and go up the stairs. There are lots of knife shops in the area so plan extra time to shop if you are looking for knives. Also they have later experience times which is a plus. We had ours at 6pm which allowed us to do lots of other things during the day.
Thank you very much for your valuable comments Your description can convey the message that we are one of the kind. That's exactly what we seek to be and remain. As you say the area is quite interesting. Our neighbor knife shop owners must be happy to know your comment.
Would highly recommend! 10/10. My two teens had an incredible experience and learned a ton. Highlight of our trip!
