More Than a Tour — A Memory for Life
It was such a wonderful experience, from the stroll through the old narrow alleys of Tokyo to complete Samurai experience to an authentic lunch in a local restaurant. Molly and team made us feel at home. Wonderful people and the best memory of our trip to Japan. Thank you!
Father/Son Samurai
Not only did we get to dress up as samurai and get lots of memorable photos, but we also learned a lot about the surrounding area from our tour guide Molly. The lunch was delicious and so was the snack before the samurai training. We had such a great time and could not recommend more highly!
Fun experience with a chance to act as a samurai!
Educational and fun. The guide was friendly and personable. The venue crew were professional and courteous.
