Don’t miss it - Absolutely fantastic experience, Ryo (descended from real Samurai) was excellent as our sword master and our guide through the museum (whose name I forget!) was also great. Well worth it and a highlight of our Tokyo trip

The tickets are cheaper on from official site. Don't buy your tickets from trip advisor. - The experience was 5 stars but don't buy your tickets from Trip advisor because the official site is cheaper with addition coupon codes you can use for extra discount. Regret buying here from trip advisor.
