Lonely Planet review for Kyūmeikan
Kyūmeikan dōjō welcomes foreign observers as well as practitioners of kendō (meaning ‘way of the sword’), a discipline of wooden sword fighting that evolved from actual sword techniques used by samurai in battle. There’s a fee of around ¥5000 for a lesson lasting one hour or more; those seeking to practice here can usually reach an English speaker on the phone at the dōjō.
