Aye lead a really fun and informative tour! I learned a lot that I didn’t know about Samurai, Ninja, and the history of Japan. Aya was engaging, entertaining, knowledgeable, and made the experience really fun. Highly recommended!
A great introduction to a well-known- but perhaps less understood- part of Japanese culture. Interesting to get more detail about the true culture and history of samurai and ninja. The tour was fairly brief but with time to return to the different rooms afterwards. The ninja star throwing element was fun.
Saku is very good guide , thank you
Aya was enthusiastic and knowledgeable!
We really enjoy the experience, the information provided, and the hands on activity in the ninja throw . Shizu was an excellent guide
Amazing experience! Very simple and easy to understand. The guide Shizu was amazing too :)
The experience was great and the information was so good
Had a tour with the lovely Ken today, he was very helpful and knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Japanese history, would definitely recommend.
Hito presented it so interestingly!! Definitely don't miss it!!!!
The experience was very educational and very fun. Our guides were great and kept us safe.
