Here's a somewhat funny story. A friend of mine visited the Kodokan with a mutual Japanese friend. They took an elevator to get to one of the floors. On the trip, an older Japanese man entered, and started berating our Japanese friend, who just kept apologizing. Apparently, they had entered an elevator for Instructors/Staff only. The guy said, "He's an American, he has an excuse, you don't!" I was surprised to see that so much of the Kodokan was devoted to offices and living space. While you were there, did you ask them to return the rules to how they were twenty years ago?

[@Reddragondiaries]

thegrimjester funny story. Yes, they can be hard on each other sometimes

I envy you SO much! I want to go there someday.

[@Reddragondiaries]

Carlos Colon you definitely should

[@judoka1976]

Is there a fee for 1 or 2 days? How does it works?

[@Reddragondiaries]

Carlos Colon it depends on what you want to do there. All the classes and programs available have different prices. For a single room no bathroom is about $29 per night. Mat fee for randori is about $8. There are many other classes though. Best thing to do is visit their website and contact the international department.

[@judoka1976]

Thanks!

[@fartsare2023]

+Red Dragon Diaries Hey Tom. Ive seen new videos of you staying in Hiroshima with your new teaching position. Have you found another Judo school yet? Have you resumed your training?

[@DennyBuoy]

Inspirational video Tom. Someday hopefully I'll go to Kodokan too. Cheers from Indonesia.

[@Reddragondiaries]

+Denny Riezki pratama thanks so much. I hope you can make it too

[@JoachimderZweite]

I stayed at the Kodokan when I was 16 in 1960. Is this the same building?

[@rogermayerapm5641]

I stayed there in 1976 when I was 19 turned 20 while there. was more spartan than that. those rooms looked nice. Mine wasn't.

[@minhquando100]

why is there a guy dressed up as a samurai?

[@floydo1124]

Just incase theres a Mongul invasion

[@devriestown]

So cool man

[@andreamoboe]

Thanks for sharing this Tom! A lot of my male elementary students did soccer as well as judo. Respected sport, definitely :D

[@Reddragondiaries]

andreamoboe 2 of the biggest sports in the world

[@egyptianspaceodin1373]

it looks beautiful! I would love to visit it someday..... hopefully soon. Some of my dojo mates have gone and spectated but never trained there. Do you have to be Shodan to train there or will they train kyu grades as well?

[@asadjudoclub8127]

I hope can visit kodokan judo

[@thesensei]

I gotta get out there.

[@Reddragondiaries]

Alan M. Rodriguez gotta do it once

[@JudoMonte]

Hi Tom, Hope you doing well these days, still in Japan, any youtube action soon? :) I am planing to visit Korea with my judo club in April next year, but also thinking to visit Kodokan (since I'm in Korea, should be shame no to go to Japan after) on my own and stay there for some time (10-15 days) and randori. Any advise on Kodokan hostel, randori every day, gi prices in Kodokan (planing on bringing only one and buying one there), and general monetary and health & safety advise? Don't have much interest in city tourism, or restaurants and night clubs, would visit some worth visiting places, but mainly slippers, gi and a bottle of water kinda holiday, and of course good meal and a beer after randori :D Thank you, OG subscriber ;)

[@drutgat2]

Thanks very much for this. Of course, this building was not the home of the Kodokan in Kano's day, so technically it is not "where it all began".

[@yannisdim.4924]

I am going to Japan soon and will probably visit the Kodokan. Can you try on the gis sold at the Kodokan before you buy them, to make sure the size is right?

[@Vizzedbaby]

Really cool.

[@Reddragondiaries]

Dennis Garcia thank you

[@Vizzedbaby]

Red Dragon Diaries No sir, thank you ;). You never make a boring video!

[@Reddragondiaries]

Dennis Garcia thank you for that

[@ReddKumaJaxon]

Judo in any shape or form is the best grappling/wrestling style ever created hands down!

[@MrMandel2]

[@kavitathapa1372]

i want to take addmission at kodokan institute . how can i apply for that.?

[@freddiebishop2553]

Does the Kodokan hold rank testing for foreigners?

[@MultiTictock]

Is there a schedule or can a beginner just go in and hope there is a open mat time for beginners at that time?

[@abdelkaderhakkou1312]

how for registration from Morocco north africa for studies at kodokan thank's

[@michaelgarcia7792]

I wonder if I could train there for a week, but not a member but I am a black belt in judo I wonder if it would be expensive.

[@judorican973]

any more videos?

[@dharmavarapuashokkumar391]

Hai sir.. i am very interested to join in this institute.. how can I do that..... Please give me a suggestion....

[@yooaab]

How much ne-waza do they practice?

[@emac6961]

How much it cost for a weekend trip?

[@shipper611]

Hey, does anybody know if it is possible to borrow a Judo-gi over there? I will be nearby with my girlfriend but unfortunately i won't be able to carry my sports bag :/?

[@padialjiujitsu]

Oss

[@elcanaldeshackra]

How much it costs to train in the Kodokan? :O

[@Reddragondiaries]

El Canal de Shackra the mat fee for randori is about $8. The price for all the different classes and programs vary greatly. Best thing to do is visit their website and contact them and they'll send you a pricing sheet

[@Chatetris]

"No photo"

[@llyr24]

All that management and coordination is done by the IJF not the Kodokan. And of course, this is only the most recent Kodokan building, not the original. Or even the second..

[@Reddragondiaries]

Llyr Jones and the IJF receives its direction from whom?
