SAMURAI NINJA MUSEUM KYOTO With Experience

This was a great experience and the better of the two Samurai/Ninja Musuems that I’ve visited. I brought my dad and he absolutely loved it. Mami-San was a fantastic guide and kept us educated, entertained, and interacted with the whole time. I would recommend this.

Absolutely one of the highlights of our time in Kyoto. The museum itself is compact but packed with authentic armour, weapons and artefacts, and the hands-on ninja activities (shuriken throwing especially) were a lot of fun for our whole group. What really made it, though, was our guide Yuya. He knew everything — dates, clans, weapons, the lot — but never made it feel like a lecture. He told the history of the samurai and ninja through great stories, with plenty of humour, and answered every question we threw at him. You could tell he genuinely loves the subject. Great value for an hour, well organised and very welcoming. If you're in Kyoto, book it — and hope you get Yuya.

An absolute must see. We were running late for our entry time due to a family emergency but they still let us in and placed us with a group. Our tour guides Ara and Nana were a treat. the Ninja Star throwing was so much fun. highly recommend.

Fun interactive tour, very suitable for children due to the duration (30 min), throwing ninja stars, and compact museum layout. Practicing with a samurai sword (approx. 45 min.) makes for an active visit. Recommended!

I accidentally got confused about the reservation day, and they very kindly helped me. The visit was phenomenal, explained in English and well-guided by our tour guide, Saya. The only downside was not winning the shuriken contest. Instructor: Saya

I hab a great time at the Ninja & Samurai Museum in Kyoto. Ara was a great guide who shared his deep knowledge with us. We learned a lot, got to touch real sunrise swords and as a personal highlight: in the end there was a throwing star competition!

Aya-san was an amazing tour guide! she made the experience very fun while still being informative. Anyone coming to Kyoto should definitely come to this museum and enjoy the exhibit. plus you get to dress up as a samurai for some brilliant pictures!!

This was such a fun and informative tour! Our guide Sayo was fantastic, and we all learnt so much from her. You learn all about the different periods, see the armour and weapons, and can dress up at the end while the staff take photos for you on your own phone.

A massive collection of Samurai armor and weapons. Our guide was KO, who gave a very good presentation (in English) about the pieces and their history.

a truly wonderful experience in learning about samurai and ninja, the period, the history, the tools weapons and armos. we even have the ninja star throwing session and costume photo session, my kid totally loved it.e staffs are very friendly
