Disappointed and Frustrated – No Show from Tour Operator - My son and I were really looking forward to the Let’s Go to Battle: Samurai Sword Cutting and Armor Shooting experience. We showed up at the location early and on time, excited and ready for the tour. Unfortunately, the place wasn’t even open when we arrived. We waited around for over 30 minutes with no sign of anyone from the tour company. I tried contacting the tour operator through Viator, WhatsApp, and Messenger—absolutely no response. After standing around with no communication and nothing happening, we finally gave up and left. It was a complete waste of our time and money, including the taxi ride we took to get there. I hate leaving negative reviews, but this was incredibly disappointing. Now I have to go through the hassle of requesting a refund. I would highly recommend looking for a more reliable operator if you’re interested in this kind of experience. We were genuinely excited about this, and it’s unfortunate it turned out this way.
