5.00It was such a wonderful experience, from the stroll through the old narrow alleys of Tokyo to complete Samurai experience to an authentic lunch in a local restaurant. Molly and team made us feel at home. Wonderful people and the best memory of our trip to Japan. Thank you!

5.00Not only did we get to dress up as samurai and get lots of memorable photos, but we also learned a lot about the surrounding area from our tour guide Molly. The lunch was delicious and so was the snack before the samurai training. We had such a great time and could not recommend more highly!
Fun experience with a chance to act as a samurai!

5.00This experience was really fun. And I think this will be one of my highlights of my trip in Japan. I was lucky that I was the only participant that day and Meg was a real sweet guide. She gave me a tour through the Kagurazaka area. After that we went to the Samurai Theater where I got dressed up and got basic training of the two awesome guys there. And it ended up in a real movie scene :). To finish the experience Meg and I had lunch in a authentic Japanse restaurant where the food was really nice. I really had a fun time and would defenitely recommend. Arigatou Gozaimasu!
Excellent
