Greetings J
This is the hombu website and map. Things are not so straightforward on the ground, but once you know the way it's about 20-30mins walk from Shinjuku station.

It's much quicker from Wakamatsu Kawada on the Oedo line (about 5 mins or so), which runs from Shinjuku.

A difficult problem is easily solved by asking yourself the question, "Just how would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

Re: directions please!
Kobayashi Dojo is very famous one. Igarashi dojo is too. I think there's a filipino student in Igarashi dojo. I met him some years ago and he visited Korea with Igarashi sensei. His name may be Louie(?)

Re: directions please!
As well as the good recommendations from the other posters - it probably would help to get in touch with Aikikai Hombu directly, find out about fees (say what association you're a member of and who's the shihan and sensei in your area).
I think it also wouldn't hurt to show up a day or so before you expect to attend, during the day, so that you can learn more about the administrivia and payments you'll have to take care of before getting in, changing, and getting on the mats with whomever is leading the session...
Cheers,
W

Before you drive or steer your vehicle, you must first start the engine, release the brake and find gear!
