Excellent experience with a highly motivated staff. An authentic Kendo introduction by experts, lots of fun and also a nice exercise. My son is inspired now to pick up some Asian Sports, maybe Kendo is available at home, we need to find out. Special greetings to Sensei Ishizuka. I recommend this to people who want some „non tourist“ experience , having fun and some exercise.

We were n Osaka for my son’s spring break. This Kendo workshop is a familiar favorite activity. Ishizuka San was so patient and thorough with us. We learned about the basics of Kendo while having a blast. I highly recommend this workshop if any family happens to be in Osaka.
