“Amazing experience and GYG sent everything I needed to enter the attraction”
Tokyo Samurai Ninja Museum guided tour with an English guide, armor exhibits, shuriken throwing, and samurai dress-up for $27.
“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!”

“The outfits are awesome, puts you in the mood. The Samurai is very serious but also has an excellent sense of humor! The practice with the wooden samurai was very helpful. The real sword is very heavy but even so I managed to cut my target as he wished on the first try.👍😊 Not so my over zealous husband!🤣😂”
Suit up in hakama and armor for a 2-hour Asakusa workshop: katana basics, museum tour, shuriken trial, and themed photos.
“We had a really good time visiting the samurai museum. You get a brief history o Japan and samurai history - from the beginning and it's origins until the end of the samurai era and current times. Then there is fun part - you participate in a samurai warrior class with a great teacher - both polite, respectful and fun. The class includes practise and a real fights between participants. You can also try how easy/difficult is throwing a shuriuken to a specific target. The trip Is great fun for both kids and adults. I would recommend it 10/10”
Ginza Art Aquarium Museum ticket in Tokyo: goldfish art with light, music, and scent inside Ginza Mitsukoshi, about 1 hour.
“This was a great addition to my last day in Tokyo. Located inside a department store, it was easy to find. I spent maybe 30 minutes walking around and take pictures. I had tickets midweek and at 1030am so only few other people were present and I was able to take beautiful pictures without interrupting others. The gift store had wonderful souvenirs.”
