Mission/history
Welcome to the Shiseikan Budojo!
Shiseikan is a training hall for traditional Japanese Budo. It was built in 1973 in order to develop dojo member's morality to be able to make a voluntary contribution to the society through the training on traditional Japanese Budo. Currently four different kinds of Budo classes are offered, including Kyudo (Japanese archery), Judo, Kendo and Aikido. Besides practical classes, lectures on Japanese Budo and related subjects are also given to both adults and the young.
