🌸2026 Aikikai Hombu Dojo Shihan Seminars (June + Additional Information)
Spring is becoming more noticeable day by day here in Tokyo, bringing a gentle lightness to the heart.
This year’s pollen levels are quite high, which must be difficult for those with allergies, but the thought of the cherry blossoms blooming soon fills me with excitement.
This time, I am pleased to share the latest updates for the always well received Aikikai Hombu Dojo Shihan Seminars.
Below are the newly updated seminar details for April–May and June, led by Hombu Dojo Shihan.
