About this experience
In this experience, you will be able to learn the essence of karate as an ancient martial art that gives its practitioners excellent physical health and self-confidence. Before practicing basic karate techniques like punches, kicks and blocks, we will start with a variety of stretching exercises and light physical workouts that will help guests to move their bodies smoothly so that it will be enjoyable for those who try out a martial arts training for the first time. Ryo has been dedicated to "Kyokushin Karate" for 20 years. In 2013, he got the 3rd place at KWU World Championship (-75kg) and has become the All-Japan champion of Kyokushinkan International(-80kg). In 2020, he got the 2nd Dan of black belt, and as an independent karate instructor, he was invited to the international camp in Cape Town, South Africa in 2023, 2025 and 2026. On January in 2026, Ryo participated in the kata competition organized by Kyokushin Kenbukai and got the 1st place.

So much fun!
It was challenging for me because of my size but I had so much FUN! I enjoyed my private session! I want to book again!
via Viator
Amazing
I would highly recommend this session if you are a beginner like myself. Ryo is a great teacher and helps correct the small details in your practice, these small details make Kyoukushin a refined fighting style. OSU!

It was fun and I enjoyed
It was great experience, I learned a lot and I'm glad I did go when I was in Japan. I am from New Jersey but was something I wanted to do and I enjoyed it and I learned more than I would have expected. I would recommend.
via Tripadvisor
“Power level is over 9000!” Do yourself a favor and train in Japan with a karate master.
Training like an all-Japan champion was so fun! Sensei Ryo is amazing! Getting to do karate in Japan has long been a dream of mine, and even though I’m very out of shape and practice, he was patient (and had water for me lol). It was so cool to see the similarities between our styles, see a demonstration, and run through katas and some kumite. I saw and booked this last minute taking the target of opportunity, and I’m so glad I did!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tokyo: Karate Experience with Former All-Japan Champion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tokyo: Karate Experience with Former All-Japan Champion cost?
+
Prices start at $76 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tokyo: Karate Experience with Former All-Japan Champion take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Tokyo: Karate Experience with Former All-Japan Champion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tokyo: Karate Experience with Former All-Japan Champion?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tokyo: Karate Experience with Former All-Japan Champion suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Tokyo: Karate Experience with Former All-Japan Champion?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tokyo: Karate Experience with Former All-Japan Champion start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
