Nice museum to see samurais history

The best museum in Japan content-wise. If they work on the lighting, can easily become one of the best museums in the world. Would recommend 100%.

A fascinating and enormous collection of many different things, including a huge range of suits if Japanese armour.

Although it's size is quite small, There are a lot of interesting displays! Especially the samurai armors and weapons. You can also try some of them on yourself for a fee. Since I was a student, I also got a discount on my ticket?

One of the best museums I’ve been to in Japan! Apart from the samurai armour (which in itself is worth the admission fee) this private collection includes ceramics, art, furniture, weapons to name a few categories. Staff were absolutely lovely, tried their best to translate the information on display, served us tea and you can try on some of the samurai helmets. Highly recommended!
