The tour was very informative and provided a great overview of the feudal system of old Japan. The dart throwing was the highlight of the tour

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!!! A MUST GO TO!!! LOVE IT!!! THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE!! LOVE THE HISTORY AND THE EXPERIENCE! THANK YOU HATA AND NAMI!!

Ken and Nobu were great!

Published on Dec, 2024

We loved the samurai activity where we learned from Ken about the history and actions of the samurai. It felt like an authentic experience. Nobu did a great job at keeping everyone engaged with the museum tour. We unfortunately had dinner reservations and were unable to finish the entire excursion (specifically the ninja star throwing activity) but it was cool to get the history of feudal japan.
