Directions from JR Kobe Station
Take JR Kobe Central exit. Go through the ticket barriers and turn left.
Once outside the station building, turn right. Walk parallel to the railway lines, NEVER crossing underneath them. Cross a road and continue following the tracks.
You will soon come to a very big intersection. Cross this main road and walk along the main road running parallel to the JR railway tracks.
The road is a wide one-way street and the cars will be going the same way that you are walking. Stay on the left side of this road.
When you come to the next traffic lights at a big junction there will be a road going under the tracks.
Turn left here and walk along this shopping street until the T-junction, where there are traffic lights. Turn right here.
The road is going slightly uphill. At the first crossroads with traffic lights turn left.
On your lefthand side you will walk past a children's playground and a post office. Just past the post office on the left hand corner is Seibukan Dojo.
It is a three-story concrete apartment building with light blue drainpipes. A white wire fence surrounds the building and there is a white sign on this fence,
but it is only in Japanese! The dojo is on the top (3rd) floor of this building. Walk around the corner and you will come to the gate on the left.
