I was in Hawaii recently on personal business, and since I had some time one evening, went to visit Kenshikan Dojo in the Japanese Cultural Center, Honolulu.

Wow - I was very impressed. It's the nicest dojo I've ever seen. The floor looked excellent. They have a separate raised area with tatami floor for iaido (I presume). The dojo was well lit and very well ventilated. The class going on when I visited was doing Kendo no Kata, and everyone seemed to be having fun. The atomosphere didn't feel like martial art school - it was more like parents/elders passing on a tradition to the next generation. It's certainly a blessing to have access to such a nice place.

If any of you get a chance, I highly recommend you stop by & visit.
