Customer Reviews
Kulbinder
The karate session with Hirokazu Sensei was excellent. I’ve trained for many years and we had a great session working together. For beginners, Sensei has a detailed programme that is really good to take you through basics, and have lots of fun. Highly recommended.
Dorota & Eryk
The karate class with a board-breaking experience was truly satisfying. We highly recommend trying both calligraphy and karate in Kagoshima!
Sean, Kelly & Josh
Very kind and takes lots of photos for you. All communication was conducted smoothly in English, and if English was difficult, they would respond using a translator.

For Cruise Passengers / クルーズでお越しの方へ
If your ship calls at Marine Port Kagoshima, you can fit an authentic karate lesson into your day ashore. Our dojo is about 20 minutes from the pier by taxi.
クルーズ船でマリンポートかごしまに寄港されるお客様には、限られた滞在時間の中で本格的な空手体験をお楽しみいただけます。道場は港からタクシーで約20分です。
We arrange a local taxi to meet you at the terminal with a name board, at no charge; you pay the driver directly (about JPY 2,700 one way, cards accepted). Start times follow your ship’s schedule so you are back at the pier in good time.
タクシーは無料で手配し、運転手がネームボードを持ってターミナルでお迎えします。料金は各乗車ごとに直接お支払いください（カード可、片道約2,700円）。開始時間は船のスケジュールに合わせて調整するので、余裕を持って港へお戻りいただけます。
A typical day ashore: karate lesson in the morning, a hand-rolled sushi lunch at our home, then Sakurajima by ferry, and back to the pier. Each part can be added or left out as you like.
一日の流れの一例：午前に空手体験、そのまま自宅で手巻き寿司のランチ、フェリーで桜島へ、そして港へお戻り。それぞれ組み合わせは自由です。
If the port call is cancelled, contact us and we will work with Viator to cancel without charge.
寄港が中止になった場合は、ご連絡いただければViatorと連携し、無料キャンセルの手続きを進めます。
Tell us your ship name and call date, and we’ll plan your day around it.
