  We had a fantastic experience training with Shogo in Kyoto. This is not a tourist activity, it truly feels like a real first day of training. Shogo is an excellent teacher: calm, patient, and very clear in his explanations. He guided us step by step, helping us understand not only the movements but also the mindset behind the art. I did this together with my 13-year-old son, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. It’s rare to find something that is both beginner-friendly and genuinely authentic. If you’re looking for a real experience rather than a staged one, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

  Shogo was very welcoming and speaks perfect english. The other students also were very friendly and great training partners. Everyone was focused, but the atmosphere still was lighthearted and sometimes even filled with laughter. Training with the group was exciting and a lot of fun. With a group size of six students and the teacher, there was a lot of time for advice for each student. The corrections and advice given by Shogo enabled me to quickly correct my mistakes and learn a great deal. We trained for three hours, first learning the formal etiquette to begin the lesson, then continuing with drawing techniques using the provided Iaito-type metal swords. We also trained partner exercises with wooden swords, learning techniques to attack and defend, and even got to try two longer, more complicated partner exercises (Kata), which combine several techniques and footwork. The technical and background knowledge of Shogo was very impressive, he is a great teacher that helps you to challenge and improve yourself. His clear and precise movements set an example for everyone that wants to try Asayama Ichiden Ryu. The experience will be unforgettable for me and I will visit again if I have the opportunity. Definitely worth your money!

• Thoughtful, Practical, and Culturally Rich Martial Arts Training

  I recently trained here in Iaido and Kenjutsu, and it has been a genuinely rewarding experience. One of the things I appreciate most is that the instructor teaches in both English and Japanese, which makes the classes accessible while still preserving the cultural depth of the art. Beyond simply showing movements, the teacher takes time to explain the background and reasoning behind why things are done a certain way within this tradition. That context adds a lot of meaning to the practice and makes each session feel like more than just physical training. Some techniques — especially drawing and sheathing the sword — are quite different from what I have seen in other styles. At first the differences surprised me, but the more they were explained and practiced, the more they made practical sense. The methods are not arbitrary; they are built on clear logic and intention. Overall, the style feels very practical and grounded, which I personally value a great deal. The atmosphere is respectful, focused, and welcoming, making it a place where both beginners and more experienced practitioners can learn with confidence. I’m very glad I decided to begin training here.

• An incredible experience with a katana master as friendly as professional, in very small committee.

  Learn to handle a katana, basically. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming to me, and the teacher and material were beginner-friendly enough to not feel lost. I recommend this for an authentic learning experience.

  A great experience that left me more to practice and think upon. The class is a good reminder that traditional swordsmanship has many nuances missing from the various types of sports fencing (Kendo included).

• Shogo-senpai is incredibly welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable

  As a Kyoto-resident, I was looking for a kenjutsu/iaido school that was accommodating for beginners, convenient to my work hours, and had an instruction-style that my imperfect Japanese (🙇🏻) would able to keep up with. Thankfully, I learned from a local Reddit forum that Shogo-senpai had opened a new chapter for Asayama-Ichiden-ryu, and he was very responsive to my questions. After attending one class, it was incredibly clear just how patient and knowledgeable a teacher Shogo-senpai, and the regular students were equally welcoming. Whether you are looking for a new local passion or are just passing through, I could not recommend it more.

• True Japanese Budo experience

  There are a lot of experience classes in Kyoto but this is definitely special one. In my opinion (I'm Japanese and born and raised in Kyoto), Kobudo is quite rare experience even for Japanese. There is actually Judo, Kendo, Karate type of sports and these are actually good mindset but Asayama ichidenryu is for army. It's skills about murder and it has so much means including respect. I will learn it for my life. Let's see you in the class!

• Fantastic instruction and a welcoming group!

  When I saw that Shogo started his own dojo I knew I had to take a class while I was in Kyoto. He was very friendly and responsive, so I was able to show up ready to train! Everyone was very friendly and I never felt like an outsider. The class ran smoothly and Shogo provided clear instruction. He made sure to break up each technique in a way where we didn’t feel overwhelmed, and helped adjust our form with details as needed. As a former instructor myself, I appreciated his skill in transmitting knowledge. Asayama Ichiden Ryu has great logic in it, and so many details had a big impact. It was serious training, but also quite fun! I highly recommend it if you’re in Kyoto and want something real as opposed to something gear towards casual tourist experiences.
