Great history of samurais! Our guide made it extremely interesting and interactive. The tour was also just the right amount of time (one hour) especially if you are with younger children. There is a fun part at the end where the whole family can participate. Highly recommended as you can also walk from this museum to Sensoji shrine area (must see!)
