![]() I’m not sure about other groups use of the space. It seems to be used mainly for Karate practise, with some niten-ichi-ryu group using it from time to time. On the walls are some pictures but apart from that, there is really nothing to see. Its a very nicely designed dojo, that you can enter and walk around in (when not in use). Its also 500 yen to enter, which I think is a bit pricey. There are also a number of his paintings on view (not sure if they are the originals, but I doubt it).Ī small place with no English information at all, I’m not sure its worth checking out unless you are a hardcore Musashi fan.
