YMCA International Kindergarten (YIK)

February 22, 2012 jjwalsh No comments

The main YMCA building in the city center is a great resource for the international community. On the 7th floor, the sports center WAAP offers a swimming pool, tennis court, training gym as well as sports, gymnastics and dance lessons for students of all ages. The adjacent building has a day care center and art school and behind there is the international business college and school of languages.

In the main red brick building is where the YIK (YMCA international kindergarten) and Bees Knees international daycare is located. Children from birth to age 3 can be taken care of at the Bees Knees and then start at the YIK kindergarten from age 3 to 6.

International Aikido Dojo

February 21, 2012 jjwalsh No comments

The International Aikido Dojo Hiroshima (Hiroshima Prefecture Aikikai) is located in Saijo, Higashi Hiroshima city – in the same city where the Hiro-dai Hiroshima university campus is located. (It takes about a 30 minute train journey or drive from Hiroshima city to get there).

Aikido has many elements useful for self-defence, but many people practice it as a way to keep fit as well as a type of spiritual training.

This Aikido group practices at Saijo Junior High School’s Judo Dojo twice a week (Tuesdays and Sundays) for 90 minutes.

Yanbo Running Shop

February 21, 2012 jjwalsh No comments

Sasaki-san, known to just about everyone as Yanbo, has been running this small, specialist running shop right in the center of town for many years.
If you are interested in taking part in local running events, trying to find others to train with, or after some quality running shoes or gear, this is the place to go as there isn’t much about the local running scene that Yanbo doesn’t know, or can’t find out, about.

Paddle Park

February 17, 2012 jjwalsh No comments

Kubota-san has been running sea-kayak tours since 1996. Located just across the water from Hiroshima’s famous sightseeing spot, Miyajima Island, Paddle Park offers half day and full day tours not only to Miyajima, but to other nearby beaches and interesting paddling spots too. Even on a grey day and some light rain on the return leg, we had a great afternoon. It’s a completely different way to experience Miyajima, and good exercise too.
