What to expect

This is a special program that allows participants to casually experience traditional karate, which originated in Kagoshima, in the historic area of Koraicho. Participants will be carefully guided through basic movements that can be enjoyed as exercise, as well as simple kata suited to their level of experience. The program includes a Kagoshima-related drink service, a commemorative certificate of completion, and even a board-splitting challenge to give participants a real sense of accomplishment. Please note that although some photos may show outdoor scenes, the actual karate experience takes place indoors in a clean, traditional dojo. Beginners and experienced martial artists are all welcome! We hope you will experience the charm of Kagoshima's unique culture and martial arts in this special experience.
