Going through the experiences of samurai and ninja at a tourist hotspot in the very center of Asakusa

As the world emerges from the pandemic into a global travel boom, Japan remains a premier destination. While it has always been a well-liked travel destination, the recent surge in popularity goes without saying.

Anime and good food are certainly enjoyable highlights, but samurai and ninja are among Japan’s most popular traditional aspects. The “SAMURAI NINJA MUSEUM TOKYO With Experience,” which offers experiences related to these historical contents, is already a hot topic among tourists.

Moreover, the location of this facility is excellent, being a 3-minute walk from Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa and in close proximity to the Tokyo Skytree.
