Samurai Ninja Museum Shinjuku (Maikoya)

サムライ忍者ミュージアム新宿

Shinjuku · near Shinjuku Station; Oriental Wave Building 4F, 5-17-13 Shinjuku

A newer Maikoya-run samurai & ninja museum near Shinjuku Station (opened December 2025), unrelated to the long-closed Kabukicho Samurai Museum. Runs the same hands-on format as the Asakusa branch — English guided tour, samurai armour try-on, shuriken throwing — plus live sword-demonstration shows with a more theatrical slant.

Why children love it: Armour dress-up, ninja-star throwing, and a live sword show, all a short walk from Shinjuku Station.

Honest drawbacks: Very new venue with limited independent reviews yet; a separate evening 'Night Museum' program (from July 2026) leans more adult/theatrical. Exact pricing not confirmed here.
