Question:

kids sports

We recently moved to Nagoya and are having a REALLY HARD TIME finding any activities for kids. I have found martial arts, (taekwondo is our favorite) but they seem to be unwilling to help foreigners. Any suggestions for gymnastics, karate, etc......anything?

  • Try this place! Anywhere in Japan is going to be a challenge if you (or your child) do not speak Japanese, but this school told us they would be willing to try. I cannot vouch for them in any way, but hopefully it will work out for them, and it might be a great chance to introduce your child to the Japanese language.
