Why choose Us?
1. Train in an authentic dojo with a master who has over 20 years of experience
Unfortunately, many facilities have undertrained instructors who can only teach tourists. Your instructor here at Yushinkan International has over 50 students nationwide and over 20 years of training experience.

2. Enjoy a more personal experience with small groups— with only 8 participants per class.
We are not a tourist spot but a real dojo where more than 20 students train regularly.

3. Witness a powerful two-katana performance by the master—something you won’t see anywhere else
Address: Super Grand Bld. B1F, 452-4, Matsugaecho, Kyoto Shi Nakagyo Ku, Kyoto Fu, 604-8034, Japan.
Look for a blue Japanese style “torii” gate. You’ll see signs for our dojo next to a blue vending machine, and the entrance is down a spiral staircase.
