If you're even passingly interested in Ninja and Samurai, give this a try! - Engaging and informative tour of priceless artifacts with an enthusiastic guide. This is not a dry, purely intellectual museum experience. As the name suggests, it's an experience. Wasn't too crowded and the price is very reasonable.

Samurai and ninja experience - Very good experience- Kenny was excellent, kept it informative and funny. Experience went for about an hour. Did an English speaking version and booked online 30min prior and saved 10%. Dresses up as Samurai was a lot of fun. Group was big but still fine. Worth it. Cost around $30aud.

Family friendly... - Family friendly experience, the kids especially liked the ninja throwing stars at the end. Good historical knowledge shared, but may also bore younger kids

The history of the samurai and ninja - The tour was wonderful because the guides explained the history behind the samurai and the ninja and their differences. They also went through why there are no longer samurai. I love history and this was very informative. I also learned a lot about the samurai costumes and their swords. I had no idea that ninjas were basically farmers and fisherman. I would highly recommend this to.
