Each year the director of the Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu Headquarters, Kondo Katsuyuki, holds a special training session as described below.

Nippon Budokan Training Center
Address: 582 Sawakura, Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

See below for the transportation guide.
Dates
August 10th - 15th of 2009
Participants should arrive no later than 18:00 on August 9th.
Participants of the special training session are required to participate in the the 54th Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu Demonstration and Convention to be held on August 15th and 16th, 2009, at the Tokyo Budokan. Because the direct transmission seminar (jikiden kai) with Kondo Katsuyuki is to be held in the afternoon, followed by the party in the evening of August 15th, all participants of the special training session will relocate to the Tokyo Budokan immediately after the early morning training of August 15th.
From August 15th, free accomodations will be available at the Headquarters Dojo (until August 31st). There are hotels in the area, but these are at the participants' expense.

Transport guide from Narita Airport
Use the Keisei Line limited express bound for Ueno (departs three times per hour from the airport) and get off at Keisei Narita Station; exit the station and walk about 5 minutes to JR Narita Station; take a JR express or a local train to Chiba Station. At Chiba Station, change to the Sotobo Line local train and go to Katsuura Station. The Training Center is located at the top of a hill and is about 15 minutes walk from Katsuura Station.
Please, note that there is also a JR Sobu Line express train that leaves once an hour from Narita Airport. If you use this train, you do not have to change at Narita Station and you can go directly to Chiba Station. This train will take about 30 minutes to arrive at Chiba Station.
