View Full Version : aikido dojo in Takayama Japan?
A friend on mine is lucky enough to go on a business trip to Takayama Japan.
He's looking for an aikido dojo (preferably of the Aikikai organisation) to practice during his stay.
I've tried to help him via the dojo search here in aikiweb, but didn't come up with anything.
So, if someone know a dojo in Takayama, please help.

You can search here - it's in Japanese but if you use Chrome the browser should ask if you want it translated.

To save you a bit of effort, I looked up the dojos in the same prefecture as Takayama on the site that Walter provided and found that the nearest one is 1 hour and 40 minutes by car.

Thanks for your suggestion, Walter. I've cut and paste Takayama's name from wikipedia (高山市) and used the search in the Aikikai foundation's website. I've found these two websites:
http://okuhidaenshinkai.oboroduki.com/
http://www.aikidotanakadojo.jp/
I've also found another dojo via google:

Thanks for your tip, Robin. However, it seems to me that both the Chokushin-juku and the Aikido Tanaka dojos seem to be situated in Takayama. Can you please tell whether these are the dojos that you referred to?

I apologise. Although I can read Japanese, it seems that I struggle to notice when there are multiple pages. I though it was odd that I couldn't find any. You are correct.
It is a bit of a distance but well worth it to go practice with these people: http://www.yufukan.com/en_contact.html
