Fodor's Review:

Wannabe samurai can learn how to tell their toshin (blades) from their tsuka (sword handles) with help from the English-speaking staff at this small shop, which has been open since the Meiji era (1868-1912). Items that range from a circa-1390 samurai sword to inexpensive reproductions will allow you to take a trip back in time, but make sure your wallet is ready for today's prices.

  • Open: Weekdays 9:30-6, Sat. 9:30-5
  • Subway: Hibiya and Ginza subway lines, Tora-no-mon Station (Exit 2)
