At Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience, we offer a 30-minute social session called "Cozy Time" after the karate experience.

“Cozy” means comfortable and relaxing.

At the dojo where I regularly train, it’s common for members to share food and drinks together after practice.

I find that time incredibly precious and heartwarming, so I decided to include it in the Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience.

For example—

A guest from the U.S. told me that 1970s Japanese city pop is currently booming in California.
It was truly memorable to see a 59-year-old Japanese man and a young American bonding over shared music interests.

Another guest from Italy spoke about their visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial.
Seeing how deeply he was affected, as if the tragedy had happened to him personally, moved me deeply.

More recently, a woman from the U.S. who works for a rum company told me she loves making people happy.
Just talking with her made me feel happy too.

I feel that karate training is a form of communication through the body.

And when we share a drink and conversation afterward, it feels like we’ve known each other forever.

Karate also includes paired training exercises with fellow practitioners.

Sometimes your rhythm matches perfectly with a close friend, and other times it doesn’t quite sync.

That’s part of the fun—and a great way to discover new sides of your friends.

If you’re planning a trip to Tokyo, come join us at Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience with your friends, and enjoy a heartwarming Cozy time together.

You might just discover a side of your friend you’ve never seen before!
