Sharing the essence of Japanese *Budo* —
a path to strengthen your body, mind, and character.
Experience it through Karate. Link for details. 🇯🇵🥋
A slightly cool day for August here in Tokyo. ☀️ Today, I held a Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience session for a group of nine guests from the United States. 🇺🇸 They experienced how to stand, how to sit, how to breathe, the representative Shotokan technique “Oi‑zuki,” its application, and even the traditional floor cleaning with a cloth. I enjoyed explaining while moving together with them, and before I knew it, I was covered in sweat. The cozy time after the Karate class became a warm space filled with a sense of accomplishment. I hope the rest of their stay in Japan will be wonderful. 🙂 【Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience for International Visitors】 Make unforgettable memories in Tokyo through the quiet strength and beauty of Japanese martial arts.

Yesterday, an Italian couple joined the Tokyo Kara Yesterday, an Italian couple joined the Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience. 🇮🇹 The husband loves karate and trains seriously, and his wife has never practiced karate herself. Normally, she would not think to try it. But here in Japan, she decided to experience karate for the first time. This experience is made for complete beginners: you can start from zero, wear a rented uniform, and everything you need — water, towel, guidance — is prepared. You only need to come. It became a simple and warm moment for them. A small experience that helped her feel the world her husband loves. For many couples, this can be a gentle way to share something meaningful together during their trip in Japan. 【Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience for International Visitors】 Make unforgettable memories in Tokyo through the quiet strength and beauty of Japanese martial arts.

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming a guest fr Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming a guest from India and another from the United States, both currently living in Japan, who joined us for a karate experience at Soshikan Dojo. 🇮🇳🇺🇸 It was the first time for both of them to try any form of Japanese Budo. Through basic etiquette and fundamental karate movements, we shared a meaningful time becoming more aware of our bodies and minds. We look forward to seeing them again.🙂 【Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience for International Visitors】 For details and booking, please check the link in my profile. #japaneseculture #karateexperience #movingmeditation #wellnesstravel #visitjapan
A group of six people, from their 20s to 50s, join A group of six people, from their 20s to 50s, joined the Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience.🇯🇵 
They told me the karate part could have been longer, which made me very happy.
They also said the breathing practice was very helpful. At the end, we tried zōkin-gake (floor cleaning).
I usually tell foreign guests that Japanese people do this in elementary school, so it feels familiar to us. 
But this time, even the Japanese guests had trouble moving forward.
It created a small, warm laugh and made everyone feel relaxed. After training, we went to Akabane Ichibangai.
The appetizer was a piece of fried chicken almost the size of a face, and everyone was surprised.

【A Hidden Break in the Middle of Japan】 In Ja 【A Hidden Break in the Middle of Japan】 In Japan, martial arts are recognized as an important cultural resource. The Japan Sports Agency encourages visitors to come to Japan for budo, and my project Budo in Everyday Life works in that same direction — sharing karate as a way to experience Japanese culture. Through the Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience, many guests tell me they want quiet, lesser‑known places away from the crowds of big cities. Somewhere calm. Somewhere not overly touristy. Somewhere they can breathe. That is why I think of my hometown, Suwa in Nagano Prefecture. It’s not a major destination — and that is exactly its value. A calm lake. A station that reminds you this is an onsen town. And a footbath that lets travelers heal the fatigue of their journey. Suwa is a peaceful hub where you can pause, reset, and continue your trip with a clearer mind. If you’re looking for a quiet moment between destinations, Suwa is that hidden break. #BudoInEverydayLife #SuwaNagano #QuietJapan #OnsenTown #CulturalJourney
【Today’s Karate Moment】 Sharing the essence 【Today’s Karate Moment】 Sharing the essence of Budo in Everyday Life with international students at Shinshu University. 礼法、呼吸、軸。 These simple foundations change the quality of movement — and eventually, the quality of daily life. Today’s class was supported by Harada-san, a current university student and a distant junior from my own karate lineage, and by Soyano-sensei of the Shinshu University Karate Team, who has kindly assisted me every time. Budo is passed from person to person — through bodies, through time, through sincere practice. Grateful to share this moment of Japanese culture with everyone.🙂 #Matsumoto #ShinshuUniversity #japaneseculture #Budo #Karate
