This is a full-scale one-day training in traditional Japanese martial arts by Isao Machii, the world's best iaido master who has appeared in various media outlets and is known for his iaido technique of cutting 6mm BB bullets flying at high speed. In this experience, you will learn the structure of a sword, how to use it correctly, and deep knowledge about samurai and Japanese swords, and you will be able to master all kinds of traditional Japanese martial arts, including swordsmanship and body techniques. The martial arts you learn under Isao Machii's guidance are different from traditional martial arts that have become mere formalities. In authentic traditional Japanese martial arts, you will learn the techniques to skillfully apply the opponent's strength and toy with your opponent with slight movements. These practical techniques can be applied in everyday life and are sure to change your worldview. Dress in training clothes, dispel the misunderstandings you have about samurai culture and Japanese swords, and experience true samurai culture. This will be a great opportunity for those who are looking for the real thing. ~ Flow of one-day training ~ 9:45 Meet at the site and change clothes. 10:00 First half of practice begins 12:00 Lunch break 13:00 Second half of practice begins 17:00 Practice ends After changing clothes, the group disbands. This experience is a full-fledged one-day training in traditional Japanese martial arts for advanced practitioners of Iai, Kenjutsu, Aikido, etc., both in Japan and abroad, but beginners are also welcome to participate. Beginners will be carefully taught from the basics, and experienced practitioners will be provided with deeper techniques and understanding. Guinness World Record-holding modern samurai, Isao Machii himself, and his top disciples will provide instruction. This plan, supervised by Isao Machii, will not only teach you the kata, but also teach you samurai martial arts that can be used in real combat. Rather than focusing on the kata, the program focuses on how to actually use your body, relax and move efficiently. This is a rare opportunity to experience authentic samurai techniques and learn truly useful martial arts. After the experience, you will have a deeper understanding of the essence of a samurai who uses a Japanese sword, and will be able to start on the path of martial arts with confidence. *Due to instructions from the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the National Police Agency, this plan does not include sword-cutting lessons for anyone other than disciples.

This is a course where you can experience "Modern Kintsugi" at a long-established lacquerware store. In this course, unlike full-fledged kintsugi, which uses real lacquer, substitute lacquer is used to restore the pottery. It is resistant to rashes and dries quickly, so you can take your work home with you on the same day. In addition, in this course, you can prepare a vessel for restoration, so you can easily experience Kintsugi empty-handed. Of course, you can also bring the vessel you want to do kintsugi. The shop is located in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, where many long-established traditional craft shops gather. During the Edo period, it prospered as a base for commerce and logistics, and even now you can feel the atmosphere of Edo culture everywhere. Why don't you experience Kintsugi, a traditional Japanese restoration technique, while enjoying a walk before and after the experience?

Kairi is a renovated old house located in the inland scenery of Awaji Island, where the traditional scenery remains. You can enjoy dishes that are carefully prepared one by one using local ingredients, tableware, and space that the owner is particular about, and the scenery will relax your mind. The owner is particular about using seasonal ingredients that correspond to the seasons of Awaji Island! As much as possible, he uses locally grown and locally harvested ingredients. He takes the time and effort to carefully arrange each dish with delicate care, using crops that have been grown with love and seafood that have been harvested with great effort and hard work. If he cannot get them, he himself goes to pick wild vegetables and makes tea. The owner's attention to detail can be felt not only in the ingredients, but also in the tableware, forks, knives, chopsticks, temperature and space to suit the dishes served. Also, Kairi does not have a set menu. He thinks about the local ingredients that are available at the time, so the menu is handwritten by the owner and posted at the entrance of Kairi every day. Looking out from the entrance, you can see the unspoiled scenery of the past. The interior of this old-fashioned house blends in with the scenery, and you can enjoy a relaxing time in a space that exudes the beauty of traditional Japan, with an irori hearth, a veranda, nostalgic yet beautiful patterned glass windows, and a transom at the top of the room that acts as a partition while letting in air and light.
