I booked and did the Premium Samurai Sword Experience at the Samurai Ninja Museum in Asakusa, Tokyo and it was the most fun part of my japan trip. I went on the 17th July at 12:00 and the amazing teacher Ryo taught us the basics of how to be samurai and use a katana. You wore the samurai robes, learned how to holster, pull out and return your katana, and then Ryo taught us a 4 swing combination with our katana's. Absolutely excellent, took some great photos, so happy I booked, worth every penny and would definitely come back. Thank you Ryo! 🥷
Meg was an outstanding guide at the Samurai Ninja Museum! She did an amazing job explaining every detail of samurai armor, weapons, culture, and the hierarchy of samurai society. Her knowledge brought the history of Japan to life, from the first samurai all the way through the last samurai of the Meiji period.
What impressed me most was how carefully and enthusiastically she answered questions and added fascinating cultural insights. She even helped me understand why people walk on the left-hand side in Japan, which made the experience feel even more connected to everyday Japanese life.
Even after her energetic and informative tour had ended, Meg went above and beyond by helping us with precise directions to our next stop.
Thank you, Meg, for making our visit both educational and memorable. If you have the chance to take a tour with her, I highly recommend it!
This 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!
It’s an amazing and interesting tour and guide on the history of Samurai. Fuko gave very interesting explanation and presented in very clear English. Perfect for non Japanese tourist like us. Everyone including children were given opportunity to be ninja and samurai. A family friendly place.
First of all, CoCo was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable. Had a fun time but couldn't throw a shuriken to save my life, lol. Lost of history. If you are in Asakusa, take a look at the samurai and ninja museum.
