Visiting Honbu

  • You are welcome to visit the I.K.O.N. Honbu. But please follow the rules below.
  • Your team supporters such as families and friends are not allowed to come in because the space of the Honbu building is limited.
  • When you are in the main dojo, DO NOT TOUCH anything in the Shinzen (Shrine) area.
  • After using the main dojo, clean up and do not leave anything behind.
  • As you can imagine, the Honbu staff members will be extremely busy between Dec 6 and 11. Please do not disturb them by asking a question such as "Can you get me a taxi?" or "Can I buy a Makoto dogi?" Please look after yourself and find a taxi yourself. To order Makoto dogis, a branch representative shall send a message to Tats Nakamura after Dec 11 as we don't do sales business verbally. All other products can be purchased at the tournament.
