Visited here on February 2020. Guided tour starts at 11:00 so be there a bit early. All guides are fluent in English and so no problem when you ask questions about the exhibits. According to the museum, all exhibits are original and not replicas. They teach you about the way of the samurais back then when civil war was on for hundreds of years. There are also some exhibits when photography is not allowed, but as for the rest, just shoot away. The best stuff here are the armors. They have towering helmet ornaments, so to make them look taller and intimidating (Japanese men are smaller then). At the end of the tour, you can try on some of their costumes (either Samurai armor, or a stylish kimono) for free for photography purposes. There also hold free cultural shows at 14:00 but unfortunately I wasn't able to attend due to time issues. Overall, it is a must to be here especially for people who are enthusiasts. You can cover everything in here in maximum of 2 hours.
The narrator is quite professional. It does n’t matter if English and Japanese are not good enough. The instructions inside are all attached with Chinese.
great place to learn about samurai. the tour guide knows and shares interesting information.
loved this museum, spent about 2 hours there, which included a tour, a live sword show and my own time walking around and taking pictures, voucher super easy to use
There are free English guided tours that are available so check in to see what time the next one is. It's very interesting and informative and the tour guide was great. We also got to watch a samurai performance as part of the tour which was also good.
