Not your typical museum - must do - A Samurai museum was an extra activity I wanted to do before leaving Japan to give us some additional history of Japan and learn about the feudal period after seeing a few Shogun castles and hearing of the fabled Samurai and Ninjas. This museum was the cherry on top of our trip and tied so much together for us. I just thought it was a skip the line to get inside the museum ticket, but it was so much more. We actually had a tour with a knowledgeable guide who shared history and knowledge with us as we walked through the museum of authentic samurai armor, swords, and other weapons. We also got to throw the Ninja shuriken and have a competition with them and dress up as Samurai and take pictures. So much information and so much fun.

A funny samurai adventure - A funny Samurai Adventure with Momo Learning about the samurai world with Momo was such a cool and fun experience! She's super knowledgeable and has a great way of explaining things that makes everything really interesting and easy to follow. From the values of bushido to the details of samurai armor and daily life, Momo brought it all to life with her energy and passion. The ninja part was definitely one of the most fun moments—especially trying out the ninja stars! We had such a good laugh, and it made the whole experience even more memorable. Thanks so much, Momo, for making history so exciting and fun. I’d totally recommend this to anyone curious about samurai and Japanese culture!

Great Experience at Samurai and Ninja Museum - Very entertaining presentation about the history of Samurai warriors and Ninja fighters. One can even try on various outfits and the staff is very helpful and will take photos. At the end of the presentation there was a "Ninja star throwing" competition which was really fun. You also get the chance to buy souvenirs.
