Overview

Experience the traditional Japanese martial art of kendo in Hokkaido. Experienced instructors with 25 years of kendo experience and having competed in national tournaments will guide you carefully so that even beginners can learn with ease. On this tour, you will enjoy the valuable experience of training your body and mind while learning the basic techniques and spirit of kendo. In addition, if you want high-intensity exercises I can arrange the program, such as 100 times continuous striking or use of heavy sword. Don't miss this opportunity to experience kendo and the deep Japanese culture!
