Our clan is the only remaining ninja clan whose ancestors served
the Tokugawa Shogunate for 265 years. and then in 1868 they became independent so they could continue to keep their identity as shinobi.
All of our ninja weapons have been handcrafted in the clan.
Not many know that there were two types of shinobi, namely, shinobi samurai and shinobinomono. Shinobi samurai were of samurai lineage, and they trained local people to work as shinobinomono. Our ancestors escorted Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1582, and that's when our clan history really started.
Licensed interpreter/trainer(s) provides top-notch, real time translation.
Our workshop is for those who want to know more than just have fun.
If you want to know the clan's mindsets, history and tradition, you need
a reliable interpreter/trainer with specialized knowledge.
In this hands-on ninja and samurai experience, the basic principles of
the Ninshido (shinobi samurai philosophy) are introduced in a dynamic and mindful way.

We loved our samurai experience, it was interesting, entertaining and we all had a lot of fun. Both adults and kids! Trying on the outfits, the weapons, and learning about the different tricks. It’s well done and the right amount of time.

I recently participated in the 90 minute premium experience at the Musashi Clan Dojo and could not be more pleased. Through a combination of an interpreter and the sensei/master, we were given an appropriate amount of engaging history lessons and real lessons with weapons. My wife and I were able to practice using the blow gun, shuriken, and were able to spend time practicing with wooden swords. An ample opportunity was provided for us to take photos and videos of one another. We felt extremely welcome and could sense that the sensei genuinely wanted us to both enjoy the experience and meaningfully learn some of the real tricks of the trade with respect to shinobi (ninjas) and samurai. I definitely learned some historical nuance to the job of ninja and samurai that I previously did not know!
If you want to have an extremely non-touristy and private experience for a small group, I strongly encourage you to sign up for an experience at the Musashi Clan dojo - a "family operation" since the Tokugawa Shogunate (hundreds of years)!

This was a ton of fun. Vanessa and her colleague told us a great story and the experience of learning about the Japanese Samurai and Ninja culture. They were great hosts and took us through some fun exercises while explaining the history of it all. Very kind and hospitable., My 14 year old son said it was the best experience of our trip

This was an amazing experience. We ( 2 kids and husband) really enjoyed learning about the history and the ancestors of one of the few remaining samurai clans in Tokyo. You get to dress up as an ninja and samurai and learn about their weapons. I would highly recommend this experience as a must do on your trip to Tokyo.

Such a special experience. Sharing information about the history and methods of samurai and ninja in an easy to understand and fun way is clearly a dedication of the entire family. They are so warm and welcoming and made the entire time engaging for our small sons and adults alike. Highly recommend!
