Entrance to dojo seen from the garden IWAMA in JapanWhere is Iwama?Iwama is a small town about 100 km north east of Tokyo, in the Nishiibaraki District, Ibaraki, Japan. Iwama has an estimated population of 16,588 people. Aikido in IwamaIwama is where Morihei Ueshiba O'Sensei (the Founder of Aikido) lived from 1942. O'Sensei built the Ibaraki Dojo, Aiki Shrine and set about consolidating his Aikido techniques. O'Sensei taught the likes of Saito Sensei in the Ibaraki dojo for many years before his demise and many say he taught fully, only in Iwama and only gave demonstrations elsewhere and outside of Japan, this was because he didn't want undisiplined people seeing his techniques, where they could be used for the wrong reason. Tai Sai in IwamaThe town of Iwama celebrates O'Sensei, and what he achieved, on the 29th May every year in a celebration at the aiki jinja called the Tai Sai. How to get to Iwama
