Considered by many to be the best kendo, iaido, jodo and koryu equipment shop in Tokyo.
Shobudo is small, but it has an incredible amount of sword-related stuff. The staff also are very knowledgeable and happy to help with advice on sizes, and customization
If you are into weapon-based martial arts and you only have time for one shop, this should definitely be it.
