Great exhibit and tour! - The museum is really informative on its own, but the guided tour really helps to get more context. It was so refreshing to have the history of women and lower classes included in the relevant places.

Fun, interactive and engaging. Totally recommend it! - This was a very immersive and informative experience. From getting fun yet interactive information to dressing up like a samurai, it is a solid 5/5 experience. Our tour guide Aya San was funny and engaging. Great experience especially if you’re totally unprepared for it as we were.

Immersive tour with an excellent guide - The experience was both informative and enjoyable, making it a worthwhile opportunity for anyone seeking an immersive tour with an excellent guide. It would appeal to both children and adults, and I gained valuable insights into the shogunate that enhanced my visit to sites like the Imperial Palace afterward. I highly recommend this experience, as it offers great value for money.

Samurai fun - Such a cool experience with the history of the samurai first, then a very fun turn using the throwing stars (shiruken). Was much more difficult than I thought. Highly recommend this experience.
