Inexpensive way to take in some history A+ - Very enjoyable tour and experience. For average $20 per person to take a tour of the museum it’s totally worth it to take in some history and see some samurai museum pieces. Our tour guide Lino was fantastic. Fun throwing star activity at the end.

We had such a great... - We had such a great experience at the Samurai Museum in Tokyo! The entire setup is beautifully done—very immersive and thoughtfully curated, which really brings the history to life. Our guide was excellent—extremely knowledgeable, eloquent, and spoke perfect English, which made everything easy to follow and even more enjoyable. You could really feel his passion for the subject. One of the highlights was the chance to dress up as a samurai—my husband absolutely loved it! It made the experience even more fun and memorable. Highly recommend this museum if you’re visiting Tokyo and want a mix of history, culture, and a unique hands-on experience.

Nice displays, Guides need improvement - This 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
