★★★★★4 months agoThis samurai experience in Asakusa was such a highlight of my Tokyo trip. The instructors were friendly and made everything easy to follow, big thanks to instructor Ryo, Yuto and Momo for supporting and answering all my questions. I loved wearing the armor and learning basic sword moves, learning more about the history. It felt authentic and fun, not just for photos. Highly recommend if you’re exploring alone and want something unique!

★★★★★2 months agoI had a great experience at the Samurai Museum. The one-hour tour was definitely worth it—engaging, informative, and fun. Our guide, Yu, explained the history of the samurai in a very interactive and easy-to-follow way, involving the whole group throughout the tour. One of the highlights was trying on a samurai outfit, which made the experience even more special. The staff were very friendly and helped us take photos, which we really appreciated. Yu also taught us the shuriken throwing experience, and it was amazing such a fun and unique activity! Overall, I highly recommend this tour if you’re in Tokyo and want to learn about samurai culture in an enjoyable way.
