Value for money. Friendly staff. Can lift swords and wear basic jacket traditional attire for free. Exihbits are good and huge photo points. History lovers delight as well.

Osaka Samurai Armor Museum

The Osaka Samurai Armor Museum, located in Shinsaibashi, displays high-quality replicas of armor worn by famous Japanese commanders.I liked the visit and of course the experience of wearing an armor very much. Other traditional Japanese experiences are available. Not to forget, the staff was great.

An interactive way to get insight into Japanese culture!

This was a wonderful interactive cultural experience. I will never forget being dressed in my kimono with the ladies explaining all the various steps. The calligraphy lesson was also amazing and I will have my amateur efforts framed :).
