Why go
The name can lead to confusion because an older Samurai Museum in Kabukicho closed in 2022. This listing concerns Maikoya's separate Shinjuku 5-chome experience, where guided interpretation is paired with activities. Check the operator's booking page for the current address, language and included program before travel. That branch check is especially useful if a map or older review sends you toward the former museum rather than the active experience venue.
Planning Notes
Suggested time on site: 1–2 hours. Keep travel and waiting time separate from that estimate.
Timing noted for this stop: Reserved daytime session; useful before or after Shinjuku Gyoen.
Access reference: Shinjuku-sanchome Station (about 2 minutes) / Shinjuku Station (about 7 minutes). Check the final walking or connecting leg when choosing your route.
Arrange the required reservation before relying on this stop in a fixed itinerary.
