Must do when in Kyoto and if into samurai - The staff were very friendly, spoke perfect English and we had an amazing time, learning about samurai and ninja. If you want an even more memorable experience, add the samurai training!

Samurai training - It's a very nice experience. It was definitely worth it and the price. We had the pleasure of having Takto as a sensei. He is very friendly and explained the exercises very well. This experience is definitely recommended.

Samurai for a day with our kids - awesome experience!!! - Amazing experience with our kids. We learned how to become real Samurais and swing swords. We saw a demo of how to do that and wore traditional Samurai clothes. Awesome experience!!! Our guide Kiryu was incredible!

Enjoyable and interesting Samurai experience, not with real swords/katanas - Did this with my 16 year old son. He enjoyed it very much especially when we dueled with padded training swords. It was a good intro to some basic sword moves is something kids from 10 up would enjoy. There was also a brief history on samurai that was very interesting and we finished up throwing plastic Ninja shuriken. All in took about 2 hours and was worth doing.

The instructor singled me out and humiliated me in front of the class - really upsetting experience. - I was humiliated by the instructor in front of everyone. For a “family-friendly” tour it should not be expected that you pick up every instruction on the first go especially when there are language barriers. It really ruined my experience. The museum part was excellent.
