It was informative and quite entertaining. The guide was well versed on the history and at times had humurous comments. The staff were pleasant.

Momo was out host and really enjoyed the experience. The history was interesting, hadn't realised the difference between a Shogun and Emperor. Ninja throwing was a fun experience. Recommend going as it's a good 1 hour experience.

I booked Samurai Museum for me and my family but when we were at the so called museum it was closed! We’re there 20mins ahead of the schedule but no posters or what so ever. And we were surprised because the venue was at the club area of Shinjuku…(I shared the photo of the place) No one was there and I asked for refund but it was not approved…. This is a big scam….!!! If you dont want to ruined vacation and waste your money stay away from this!
Amazing museum. Gave more knowledge about Samurais and ninjas. Especially the host did an amazing job. :)

It gave me a lot of knowledge about the history of the Samurai. I bought some books from the museum and will plan to read them once I get back to New Zealand. Our host did very well explaining the details about the samurais. She is very kind, cheerful, and always smiling. She was also able to talk to us when she has time in between, about samurai. Keep up the good work :)
Amazing tour

I want to sincerely thank you all for such a wonderful experience, especially the ninja master. His moves reminded me of the classic 'Seven Samurai' movie by Akira Kurosawa, which brought back some nostalgic memories. Your effort truly made it special. Thanks to all your staff for making this so memorable!
