Full description
This is a 2-hour experience in Tokyo. It is run by GLOBA Inc., an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Tokyo is the largest city on earth by metropolitan population and it is best seen as a set of neighbourhoods on the Yamanote loop line rather than one place. Asakusa has Senso-ji, the city's oldest temple, and Nakamise's shopping lane; Shibuya has the scramble crossing and Shinjuku the bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho; Harajuku is Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine's forest; Akihabara is electronics and anime; Ginza is department stores and sushi counters. Everything runs on time and the last trains are around midnight. Cash still matters in small restaurants, an IC card covers every train and bus, and tipping is not done anywhere.
The price covers Posing with swords in front of a studio or samurai-themed, Wearing a Hakama, Feel like a real samurai, Convenient location and costs a fraction of similar and Guided Tour of the SAMURAI MUSEUM TOKYO.

The experience was so fun and amazing! our guide Dice was really knowledgeable and attentive, he made sure everyone understood everything at their own pace and paid attention to everyone. I think it's a must to do this tour guide and experience if you love Japanese culture and especially samurai and ninja history. I enjoyed it a lot and glad I did it. and special thank you to Dice!! 🙏🫶
Very cool to learn about the history of the Samurai and feudal Japan and see the displays of very valuable swords and original weapons and armor and such. I also had a sword lesson which was really cool to learn the techniques and movements and every movement has a reason, it’s not just for show!
Fantastic and unique experience not to be missed! We learned also a lot of the Japanese history, while visiting the museum. And the staff was very knowledgeable, polite and friendly! Thank you all!
This was a great experience in Tokyo. Especially on a rainy day. Hosts were great and I think you get a lot for the money.
In a word AWESOME !. Our guides Dice and Aiko offered excellent instruction and historical commentary. Extremely interactive and fun experience. I absolutely recommend this tour.
Thank to Yuki, the museum guide, for her professional explanation, humor, and patience. Thank you for the pleasant time we spent with you and learned so much from you. Thank you also to guide Dice, who explained to us how to use the sword and return it to its place. To eliminate the enemy and be sure that he is in the next world... and all with professional patience and a smile. We received beautiful souvenir photos and will recommend it to friends. It was a fun and challenging experience
The tour was beyond my expectations (and they were high). Really thankful to have reserved it, and Leo was the best instructor ever.
Only one minor criticism. We were under the impression that our ticket included museum admission but it didn't. This could be made clearer for future. Otherwise, this was great. We had so much fun! One of the fondest memories of our trip. Leo, our instructor, was great. He made us feel at ease and his instructions were very clear. The photographs were excellent, and he allowed us to film the practice session. The group size was small so you received a lot of one on one attention during the session. We had a great time!
my sensei was amazing! very attentive, very helpful and patient. i enjoyed my time and session. kid friendly as well. i definitely recommend booking this excursion, i will be returning!
体验特别好，很好玩的一次日本文化的体验，有博物馆的 tour，还有剑道的体验，是两个活动 剑道体验的Leo很帅，很亲切 博物馆tour的Guchi和Dice讲解很详细，最后还有拍照活动，如果没体验过的话会是一次很好玩的活动
The samurai experience was good but the role event was confuse.
Great experience awesome and very immersive experience loved everything and very much thank you to KO and Leo for the guided tour and samurai experience.
