We had a really nice wxperience here. The end of the tour is the most fun. You can dress up as samurai and make lots of photos.

Really good interactive experience, was able to learn about the history whilst putting it into practice. All the staff were really enthusiastic.

Atsu was great! We had a lot of fun and learn so much! Don’t skip this experience especially for future traveling with young children.

Great experience, we saw real samurai weapons and clothes and trained with the ninja star. You definitely need to goGreat experience, we saw real samurai weapons and clothes and trained with the ninja star. You definitely need to go.

Booked the basic package which still included the museum tour, throwing star experience and samurai dress up. The young lady who showed us around was amazing. She explained everything about samurai and ninjas very well and talked about the history of them both. Most of the people on the tour with us were adults but children of all ages will enjoy this experience.

This place was so interesting and interactive. So much fun. 100% recommend. You really learn a lot about the history. Staff were all so lovely.

Chance to dress up as a ninja and samurai, learn to throw shuriken and blow darts. Brilliant fun! Highly recommend! Kazu was very engaging and fun.

Kaz and ko were awesome and so funny! Definitely reccomend for kids! Right next to Nishiki Market for after samurai fun!

The exhibition was very interesting, made even better by our extremely knowledgeable and friendly host Nobu. He really knew the history of the samurai inside out. He answered many questions and gave us a good laugh. The costume dressing was fun and we got to have a shot of some play ninja stars, although that was more for children.

I read a bunch of reviews that this is a must see in Kyoto, but this is not a museum. it's just a bunch of young people got together and figured out how to extract money from tourists. They certainly did their best, collected samurai costumes, hung pictures and tell a little history, but this is not a museum and is not worth the money for a ticket at all

Best experience with amazing explanation of the history of ninja. Must do, safe for kids as well. Good one he spent with trying the outfit

Kids had a ball dressing up like ninjas. Friendly, helpful staff. Great history of Japan in the Samurai museum. Thank you.

I was more interested in the museum part than the experience part. While I really liked our guide there just wasn't enough content to make me feel like it was a good value. e.g. they had a lot of cool items in their museum with placards explaining what they were but you couldn't really look at them because you had to move to another room after the guide was done speaking. Dressing up as a samurai, throwing fake ninja stars, etc didn't appeal to me so I skipped that part and I expect that's actually the main attraction for this place - the museum is just an after thought.

Excellent experience, very fun for the whole family. Very informative in the samurai customs and history. The museum was also full of fun historical facts and artifacts. The ninja star throwing was a nice touch and the costume section was the icing on top. I would recommend to anyone looking to explore ninja and samurai culture in the area.

A great taste of ancient Japanese culture and history. The Samuri teacher was authentic and taught us some fun moves. The guided tour with Nobu afterwards was very interesting and I learned a lot about Japan from the visit! My whole family enjoyed the experience with 4 children ages 6-26!
