Martial Arts and Calligraphy Experience
Try your hand at karate board breaking and calligraphy at the Yokohama Budokan! The first full-scale martial arts hall to open in the city, Yokohama Budokan offers an engaging activity program popular with locals and visitors alike.
Anyone, regardless of age, gender, or nationality can enjoy participating in activities at Budokan, and the program can be customized to best fit organizers’ needs. There is also a kendo (Japanese style-fencing using wooden swords) program available. Karate programs even be arranged at the event venue.
By participating in traditional activities like martial arts and calligraphy, you can get in touch with the Japanese spirit and gain a deeper understanding of the culture. Learning the basic moves, etiquette, and history of calligraphy and martial arts allows us to preserve and carry on this cultural heritage.
The concept of “dō,” meaning “the way,” as seen in the names of arts like shodo (calligraphy), kendo, or judo, represents a mindset at the core of traditional Japanese culture.
We’re here to help you gain new experiences and create lasting memories by engaging with Japanese culture through the harmony of “dō” and stillness.
