finding a club in sapporo

Hello all,
I didn't see a separate section for finding a club, so this seems like the4 best place to ask.
I am going to Sapporo, but only for a month. I leave on Tuesday and will be there till the end of may.
Some of my plans while there are to study ikebana, tea, calligraphy etc... but i want to find a martial arts club to train at.
Usually I focus on combative stuff and have been moving more and more toward sport, having particular interest in Judo and BJJ, but i have a shoulder injury which prevents me from doing full contact work, so I need to train something that is a little easier on my body.
I'm wondering if anyone can direct me toward a good aikido or jujutsu school that focuses mostly on empty hand work? I'm up for learning weapons too, but I like things empty hand the best, because I can bring the most to my other training by doing that sort of exercise.

Thanks very much for any answers and advice!

Rob
