Very cool experience. The presenters were very engaging and made it a fun experience for all. Very good scaffolding so that everyone could be successful in the end. An awesome time.

Authentic, fun, original! Our family of 4 loved this experience. It was the perfect mix of learning about samuri culture and getting to try it yourself. The instructors were funny, patient and took great pictures. Can't recommend enough for a great tour in Japan.

The most fun and educational experience plus getting dressed up. The museum has some wonderful pieces of samurai dress wear. Would have liked more history but time limitation is understandable
Operated by Samurai Theater Tokyo
