A Must-Do as a first time visitor in Tokyo! - Ryo was a great instructor and made it very fun to learn! I would definitely come back again to try the Ninja experience as well! Great location. Also the guided tour after was very educational about the history.

Highly recommend sword training experience - We took the special package which included a sword fighting lesson with Ryo, a 22nd generation to a Samurai family. It was amazing. We had so much fun and it gave us a taste of what sword fighting looked like. Highly recommend. Worth the extra money.

Ryo was incredible - The sword experience was absolutely amazing. Taught by Ryo, the 20+ generation of a samurai family. He was professional, clearly skilled, and very friendly. The initial museum tour was okay, but overrun with people who didn't care to listen and were roudy/disrespectful to the guide. It certainly took away from that part of the experience. The sword experience was a much smaller group of truly interested individuals.
