Aikido Ryu offers you a rich and healthy life through Aikido.

RYU HOUSE

"..Staying at Ryu House is not just about spending the night somewhere.
It is a glance at the Japanese culture, a unique opportunity to share meaningful moments with Sensei and Ryu Dojo members.
This cozy environment is filled with the powerful and yet very calm energy of the budo spirit.
Thank you very much for the warm hospitality."

"As one of the first few guests to Ryu House I spent over a month living within 30 seconds of the dojo for an incredible insight into the day-to-day operation of Ryu Dojo.
Staying at Ryu House gives people the chance to train intensively and understand more about daily life around and about the dojo.
A stay at Ryu House is an unmissable opportunity for those looking to visit Japan and study aikido."
