Samurai Museum Tokyo

Honor, bushido, swords and beautiful costumes. Samurai are one of the most well known icons of Japan, so this list would not be complete without the Samurai Museum in Tokyo. This museum showcases relics of the samurai who played a prominent role in Japanese society over the course of multiple centuries.

The museum is modest in size, but the collection of armors, helmets and weapons is pretty impressive and fitting for people taking a cultural city trip to Japan. The museum also performs a samurai show four times a day. And it is possible to try on a samurai outfit, which makes for a memorable photo moment. The samurai museum is a great way to get into the spirit of Japan.
