Shinmei-ryu Dojo

The Shinmei-ryu School Dojo is a large family-run martial arts dojo owned and run by the Aoyama family.

Situated in the Kyoto mountains, the school teaches the Shinmei-ryu style of swordsmanship and acts as the headquarters for businesses involving the Shinmei-ryu group.

Originally a privately owned establishment, with ownership passed down between the Aoyama family members, the school was designated a national landmark by the Japanese government on 2001 and became government property.

Location Design

The appearance of the Shinmei-ryu dojo is based on the family temple of the Ashikaga shogunate on the Kinugasa mountain in Kyoto. The temple was founded by former shogunate, Takashi Ashikaga.
