Ebisu is the name of a purpose-built drift/race track, somewhere in Japan. I was merely expressing somewhat envy at your location, and jesting in relation to the shared name.
Don't know about Ebisu but its on the Yamanote Line so you can go just about anywhere. I am in Shinagawa. There is a Yoshinkan aikido class held in Omori Gold's Gym just one one stop out of Oimachi.
I know that Nishio sensei has a few dojo's in the warabi area. They are definately worth visiting if you want to do aikikai aikido. It should be possible to find a dojo where either Arisoue sensei or Tanaka sensei teaches. Both are very experienced.
You could contact Shishiya sensei (student of Nishio sensei). I know he's got a dojo in Tokyo, but I don't know exactly where it is. Check out:
Our dojo's are all in the Nakano area, each within a couple of minutes stroll from the local station. Details of all classes, schedules and location maps can be found at:
