About
Samurai armor experience in Tokyo！ This studio offers the experience of wearing the armor worn by Japanese samurai in the 16th century in Tokyo. Our full-time staff will help you put on the armor made in the same way as it was made in the 16th century. We will also explain about the Samurai culture of the time. All the armor in the studio is made in Japan. The studio also has swords, spears, and other weapons available for photo shoots. Professionals who are well versed in samurai history and culture will guide you about SAMURAI and about swords. We also offer plans for sword lessons and swordsmanship practice. The photos taken will be given to you as printed photos and as data. If you wish, we can print them on canvas or mugs and give them to you on the day. The studio is reserved for each couple, so reservations are always required. Enjoy SAMURAI with us without worrying about the eyes of other customers.

Best samurai experience in town. A lot of weapon to choose for your photo session from swords, spears, to guns and bow. The staffs are so friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Most lively photo session ive ever had.
Editting doesnt take long at all, you get the result as soon as you finish changing. The end result is astonishing!
Definitely recommend this experience especially if youre also interested in samurai culture and history.

The owner of the store,also the seventh generation samurai, has extensive experience. He helped customer to put on fully realistic metal armor, guide photo poses with details, and uses various props to guide the customer in movie-like movements. The lighting and photography techniques are also very professional, creating a perfect and very unique photography experience. It is worth recommending to everyone.

Our family recently had two incredible photoshoot experiences at Sengoku Photo Studio Samurai. From start to finish, everything was beyond our expectations, leaving us with not only fantastic souvenir photos but also cherished memories. The owners of the studio are an absolute delight to work with. Not only are they skilled professionals in the art of photography, but their warm and friendly demeanor makes the shoot easy. They took the time to understand our preferences and vision for the photoshoot.
The studio itself is a hidden gem, exuding an authentic and captivating ambiance from the moment you walk in and hear the samurai soundtrack playing in the background. They guided us through different poses and scenes with patience and expertise, making the entire process not only fun but also educational. The final photos exceeded our expectations in every way. These photos will be invaluable souvenirs that we will display and treasure for years to come.
If you're looking for an unforgettable experience that combines artistry, history, and heart, Sengoku Photo Studio Samurai is an absolute must-visit. The owners' dedication to their craft, their warm personalities, and the stunning results make this studio an exceptional destination. Our family is incredibly grateful for the memories they've helped us create. We can't wait to return for another photoshoot next year and continue building our collection of amazing moments.
Thank you, Sengoku Photo Studio Samurai, for an extraordinary experience that will forever hold a special place in our hearts!!!

I was looking to have an immersive Samurai experience. And boy did I found a fantastic place. From the start communication was prompt and timely. The place is a little out of the way. Google map to the rescue.
But what makes this place unique and great are the staff. From sensei Tateki Matsuura, who took the time to go over sword handling and the director Taro Nakamura who made me look good and went over the history and meaning of the different armor. They were all very pleasant and great to work with. Love the people and the pics came out great.
Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to create a great experience and something to take back and remember Japan.

Amazing experience and amazing staff. The quality of the armor is fantastic!
A very special experience if you are into japanese traditional culture, and even more if you are interested in samurais. They explain you the different parts of the armor and teach you basic katana movements.
We had a great time and we strongly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tokyo!

Absolutely amazing! My husband loved this experience so much. The staff were so helpful and knowledgable and we were made to feel very welcome and special. The armour itself was fantastic quality and my husband was able to choose which of many styles he wanted to wear. The photos produced were very high quality and we had one of the best experiences in Tokyo! This is a must do activity for anyone visiting!

Visited with our two small children (5 and 3 year old who also participated). Like others, we had a wonderful experience that is different from the standard kimono one, and it didnt omit children. Photography level was professional and the staff members were highly knowledgeable about the armor and explained the history as well. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and very highly recommend this studio! Thank you again!

We made reservations to have our photos done here and it was completely wonderful. A great selection of armor and very professional photos. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. We had a fantastic time laughing and learning and getting photos that we will cherish forever. Taro San was the BEST! TripAdvisor reviews are right about this place.

I work for a Japanese company and only had one day free to schedule this amazing experience. Ms. Junko opened early to accommodate both of our schedules. I had so much fun and learned so many interesting things. It was the highlight of this trip (and I do many fun things in Japan!). I had many great photos, but might have to come again as I think I could do even better!

Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. You get to pick which armor you want to wear for the duration of your time there. They suit you up and explain to you why samurai wear and do what they do. So while you’re having fun you’re also getting a history lesson on the subject. They take a bunch of pictures in certain poses and compile a movie for you. Depending on which package you choose you can get coffee cups, posters, coasters, and other stuff with your pictures on it. It’s a little pricey but it’s definitely worth it as it’s an experience I’ll always remember. If you’re in Tokyo go check this place out.

Thank you for coming to the studio. It's Junko of the staff. Thank you for writing a review.
We would like to introduce SAMURAI to many people from this studio so that we may be interested in Japan! We're very glad that the people who read your review come to the studio again. Thank you very much.
When you came to Tokyo again please visit SENGOKU Photo Studio SAMURAI! I am looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you so much!

They did have child sized armor to wear but I would email/call them to make sure they have something that would fit him or her.

If I choose the Kiri plan, how would you give me the movie video and the digital photos? Can it be send via email? Also how much would it cost to have the picture printed on a mug?
Written August 12, 2017
Hi, Dato David Q,
Thank you for your inquiry.
We will upload KIRI plan photos and movie to drop box. You can download from there.
Also, together with the CD-ROM, I will pass the picture and movie data.
Mugs can be made with an additional 2100 yen.
Please add the printed material to the staff as it is available at the studio on that day.
I am waiting for your visit.
