Offered in: Japanese

I have practiced Kendo from the first year of elementary school until I was 25 years old. I would like to use that experience to spread the word to people all over the world. I also hope to have fun interacting with everyone, grow as a person, and enjoy life.

The experience begins with etiquette, the most important teaching in kendo, and then moves on to learning posture, swings, and basic techniques. You'll then practice on the ground and practice in a match format.

After the match, there will be time for exchanging opinions and impressions, as well as taking photos.
One of our special features is that at the end, you can wash off the sweat and refresh yourself in our bathing facilities. There are world-famous tourist spots near the Budokan, so you can experience Japanese culture even in between sightseeing.
