Stephanie Paps-Levy
★★★★★2 weeks agoThis was a great way to learn about Japanese history and culture in a fun and interactive way. Coco was a great tour guide. It’s just over an hour, many different rooms with different style of messaging and interactions. Well worth it. Fun opportunity to play with costumes, swords, even learn to throw ninja stars 🌟 You can book online. The entry is on the street front not the office building as there is signage on both.

★★★★★2 weeks agoDice was our host and very knowledgable in the history of the Samurai and different eras of Japan. He was interactive with our group and we had opportunity to hold different replicas and try on armor for photo opportunities at the end. The display of authentic armor and weapons was impressive. All the staff were very informative and spoke excellent English. The visit is highly recommended especially in combination of the Kimono Tea Ceremony next door.
