About This Site & Kenta Mori

SamuraiMuseumTokyo.com is an independent guide to samurai museums and experiences in Tokyo. It is written and maintained by Kenta Mori, an Asakusa-based culture writer who has covered Tokyo's museums and samurai heritage sites since 2014 — including the Shinjuku Samurai Museum before its 2022 closure and the Asakusa Samurai Ninja Museum since its opening in December 2023.

What this site is

A practical, regularly updated answer to the questions people actually ask: which samurai museum in Tokyo is open, what tickets cost, which experience fits which visitor, and where to see original armor. Every price is checked against the operator's own rates, every closure status against official sources, and review figures come from verified GetYourGuide review counts.

What this site is not

We are not affiliated with the Samurai Ninja Museum, Maikoya, the Samurai Museum Shinjuku, or the Tokyo National Museum. We don't sell tickets ourselves. When you book through our links to GetYourGuide, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you — that's how the site is funded, and the affiliate disclosure spells it out.

Corrections

Museum hours and prices change. If you spot something outdated, email hello@samuraimuseumtokyo.com and it will be fixed in the next monthly review pass.
