About Us
Our museum is full of ancient artifacts, several authentic samurai swords and armors from the Edo Period and replica armors from the feudal Japan. There are also ninja exhibitions that provide you a glimpse into how these farmers turned into guerilla fighters. The best part is the free English tours provided frequently. Being Japan’s largest experiential museum, our venue also provides kimono and yukata dress up activities, tea ceremony services and zen meditation experiences in case you have a friend or a family member who is coming along. You can have this experience on any day of the year. If you would like to do the activity outside the museum, please drop us a message as we have several dojos as well. Don’t forget to check out the samurai and ninja gift shop inside the museum, one of the very few English-speaking places in Japan that sells real samurai swords, antique samurai armors in addition to ninja tabi-socks.
