The area of Otemachi, where HOSHINOYA Tokyo is located, is now an office district full of high-rise buildings, but during the Edo period, there were many samurai residences since it was close to Edo Castle, which is now known as the Imperial Palace. There used to be three main dojo (a place of practice) for swordsmen, in the town of Edo called “Edo Sandaidojo” that produced many swordsmen in the last days of the Edo period, and so, swordsmanship training was actively practiced.
The master of the swordsmanship school “Hokushin Ittoryu” Geki Kenkai, which used to have a dojo in Kanda, Edo, is the supervisor of this original program, combining the movement of swordsmanship and deep breathing. First, participants will learn the basic movements of swordsmanship such as how to hold a wooden sword and how to move their legs, and then, the practice will begin. Muscles of the whole body will be moved whilst relieving stiffness caused by daily tension and stress.
The area of Otemachi, where there used to be mansions of feudal lords, is now an office district lined with high-rise buildings. This activity will be held on the roof of a high-rise building 160 meters above ground near HOSHINOYA Tokyo, with no buildings or fences obstructing the view. In the distance, Akihabara, Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro can be seen as well as Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower, which are the symbols of modern Tokyo. Participants can feel refreshed by practicing in the clear morning air with the views of Tokyo.
