“We had such a fantastic time visiting the Samurai Museum with Ken (I think!) as our guide. The visit was super engaging and fun for the kids — they were captivated from start to finish — and we adults also learned a lot along the way. The format was just right: not too short, not too long, and really well balanced. Even though we were part of a big group, Ken managed it perfectly so that everyone felt included and comfortable. Highly recommended!”

“We had a great time in class! Both instructors were amazing. Learned a lot about the history, swords, and practice. We did cutting, sparring, and archery. There were many opportunities to take pictures and videos. Would do again! Thanks Sumida-sensei!”

“We had the best time learning how to be samurai’s in the movies! From the kimonos to the sound effects, it was lots of fun and totally cool!”

“excellent activity overall but were grouped with another family with 4 kids who overpowered our own child and despite not payign themselves were still involved. it took away from our experience think each group if children should have mandated number of paid adults as this detracted from our own experience”

“Amazing show, incredibly talented performers- this show is the highlight of my Tokyo experience so far! Highly recommend!!!”

“From the moment we stepped in, we were transported into the world of the samurai. The 2-hour experience flew by, filled with excitement, hands-on learning, and immersive storytelling. It wasn’t just a lesson—it was a journey back in time. You don’t just watch—you become a samurai. Holding a real sword, learning precise movements, and performing a traditional sword dance at the end made us feel like true warriors. It was thrilling, empowering, and something we’ll never forget. The guides were incredibly friendly and patient, making sure everyone, from adults to young kids, felt comfortable and engaged. They took their time answering questions and guiding us through each step with care…”

“It’s worth the experience. Amazing instructor. Don’t hesitate to book this! We learned so much and I can’t wait to share it with everyone I know”

“Love the experience, everyone was professional and understanding, the teacher was patient and the sword fighting outstanding”

“I've never been to Japan before. So I wanted to learn and get a feel for the history of Japans infamous Samurai and their way of life. This experience provided an amazing and unforgettable insight albeit just a snippet of Samurai life with a swoRead more”

“It was a personalized lesson for my son and I. The Kendo Sensei has been training for 60 years and his co-instructor was also fantastic. A very legitimate training of traditional fundamentals and the highlight of our trip. If I lived in the area it would be an honor to train with them regularly.”

“awesome thing to experience while you're in Tokyo! didn't think we would get to "combat" each other with the balloons so that was a nice touch.”

“Very informative. Very involved. Very interesting and fun. It was amazing to watch these guys do the samurai training and to actually be involved in the training”

“Shimpei Takemura is the best. He lights up the atmosphere with his spirit and kindness. I was overwhelmed by the history of each samauri that were displayed. Shimpei is the best.”

“Such a fun and memorable experience. We loved getting dressed up and learning Samurai moves. They were so friendly and informative, everything went smoothly finding the location and enjoying the experience. I would highly recommend this experience and this vendor!”
