About

Located in Tokyo, Japan, the Samurai Museum was established in 2015 to provide a deeper understanding of Samurai culture through the display of authentic artifacts. The museum aims to share the real spirit of the Samurai, offering insights into their history and craftsmanship. Alongside the physical museum, the Samurai Museum Shop serves as an online platform for those interested in Japanese culture, offering antique Samurai swords, armor, traditional crafts, and more. The shop provides free international shipping and English-speaking support to ensure a pleasant buying experience for global customers. The museum and shop together create an accessible gateway to Samurai heritage, combining historical education with the opportunity to own authentic pieces of Japanese history. The museum connects visitors with examples of the samurai spirit from the past and shows how it permeates into the lives of modern Japanese people.
