OVERVIEW

Enjoy an authentic look at life in Kyoto, past and present, through a hands-on experience at a museum and by sitting in at a tea ceremony. The Samurai Ninja Museum offers a rare look into the Japanese warrior culture. The displays showcase authentic armor, swords and artifacts, many of which are centuries old. For a more interactive experience, you can try on the samurai armor and practice swordsmanship and throwing ninja stars. Participating in a tea ceremony will add another dimension to your understanding of Kyoto’s culture. As you will discover, the ceremony involves more than merely the beverage. It is also a ritualistic art form that has endured for centuries. For a candid glimpse at daily life in Kyoto, you will meander through the Nishiki Market, which has been operating downtown for more than 400 years. It is an excellent place for people-watching. During your free time there, you might dine on your own.
