Activity

You will be taught by an instructor with over 26 years of experience in Batto-do (Japanese swordsmanship) and Yabusame (horseback archery)

You can receive instruction from the Head Dojo of the Zen Nihon Toyama Ryu Iaido Renmei and the Shihandai (assistant instructor) of Yabusame (horseback archery). They provide guidance to overseas branches in the United States, Europe, and Asia, oversee Tameshigiri (Japanese sword cutting) experiences for over 1000 individuals, as well as experiences for overseas VIPs through embassies.

Experience authentic swordsmanship in Japan.

This isn't just entertainment or street performance; it imparts authentic sword techniques and spirit. If you're keen on experiencing it correctly or learning the authentic methods, we invite you to join us.

Experience a Japanese sword, face yourself, and try Iaido (sword-based martial art)

Experience the concentration that lies within you, the remarkable burst of energy rarely encountered in daily life.
Feel the spirit of martial arts through our Iaido experience.

Classes for beginners covering three Kenjutsu disciplines!

Start by deepening your understanding of the sword. Learn how to handle it, master distance, and methods for attack and defense. Finally, you'll experience the sharpness of a Japanese sword firsthand!
