A good mix of history and interactive pieces. We enjoyed learning about the history of the samurai, the Japanese feudal system and getting to see, touch and experience samurai apparel and swords. Kyo was an excellent guide!
Great history lesson and cool to see the real samurai armor.
Great learning experience. Our guide Masa was fantastic. Really enjoyed learning more of the Japanese culture and history of the Samurai
We were a family of 4 (daughters 18+) and had a great time, enjoyed learning from our guide about the basic history, seeing the exhibits with interesting personal stories behind, and having fun trying out costumes and shuriken throwing.
Amazing place!! Our tour guide Dice was very nice and knowledgeable. My husband and I really enjoyed the Samurai museum!
Fantastic experience and guide was excellent, had fabulous experience. Highly recommend
Our tour guide Kyo was informative and fun. The overall experience was amazing. I’ve always been interested in Samurai and swords so I enjoyed it very much. I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It’s affordable and a good learning experience.
I preface this review with endorsement of our Asakusa experience as a 5/5 . However our experience at Shinjuku was most disappointing. The simplest of requests - to exchange a T-shirt (excellent quality) purchased at Asakusa yesterday, unopened and with a receipt, for an identical item but a larger size, was refused. Other staff were empathetic as we left for Osaka today and could not get back to Asakusa. However the woman at the gift shop who seemed to decide these things could not be reasoned with. If this is the firm’s policy it should be reviewed. If the issue is a decision simply made by the woman at the counter we certainly did not appreciate her ‘have a nice day’ on our departure. Disappointing as all interactions with other staff at both venues were excellent. They were helpful, eager to assist and a pleasure to deal with.
Dear guest, Thank you very much for visiting us, and we sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused during your visit to our Shinjuku location. We are truly sorry that your request to exchange an unopened item with a receipt could not be handled more helpfully, especially given your travel schedule and the positive experience you had at our Asakusa location. We also apologize for the way this situation was handled and for the impression it left. We appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with our team to review our response and improve our service. Best regards, Samurai Museum
First time in Japan, the samurai experience was amazing, our guide during the session was excellent and funny, she was great, too bad it ended fast, I was thirsty for more cultural information.. Japanese culture is amazing and very noble..
Yuki was a great tour guide! The shuriken and armour experience was great aswell as learning some of the history of the weapons and history of the samurai! Would recommend
