3.00This is a small Museum with a representative displays of samurai memorabilia. Our guide Hiro was a nice young man with an accent so thick it was barely understandable. His English was cs3 thickly accented my partner and I understood May 10% of what was said. Not to pick on Hiro, but we heard 2 others and they were just as unintelligible. If you are going to offer English, please make sure it is understandable! Combined with Hiro's schoolboy rote teaching style of repeating every point 3 times, and we learned very little. "This is a ninja" hai "This is a ninja" hai " This is a ninja" hai. What we heard is "This is a " 3 times There was the promise of a lot of good information. It just got lost in the presentation style

Fun experience. Interesting learning the history. The host 'Momo' was exactly providing her own character into her storytelling.

5.00Momo 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.

Bad experienced booking for Samurai Museum

1.00I 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!
