About Osaka City Municipal Shudokan
Osaka Shudokan is a municipal martial arts facility located within Osaka Castle Park, serving as the city's premier budokan equivalent to Tokyo's famous Budo-kan. Built in 1962, this impressive one-story Japanese-style building offers comprehensive judo training alongside kendo, kyudo (archery), and naginata classes throughout the week. The facility provides open-access keiko (practice sessions) held every weekday except national holidays, welcoming both members and drop-in visitors at an affordable 300 yen per session. Students can expect structured instruction in traditional Japanese martial arts within a historically significant location, just a 15-minute walk from Osakajokoen Station
