In 2014 we are going to up the ante so to speak. Please all join us as Helsinki Autumn Kendo Seminar goes Airport City!
This year our autumn kendo seminar will be arranged at Tikkurilan Urheilupuisto (Tikkurila Sports Park):

This is the very same venue, where the European Iaido Championships 2014 will be held a couple of weeks earlier. You'll also have the opportunity to overnight at hotel Tikkurila, which is part of the Sports Park.
We are expecting visiting senseis from Europe and Japan and naturally our Finnish 7th and 6th dan senseis will teach at the seminar. A more detailed list of senseis will be published together with the official invitation in the beginning of autumn.
We have negotiated following prices with Tikkurilan Urheilupuisto hotel for seminar guests:
Dorm room for 8 persons: 22 euros/person/night
Dorm room for 4 persons: 27 euros/person/night
Double room for 2 persons: 40 euros/person/night
Tikkurilan Urheilupuisto hotel is more of a hostel, but a very nice one.
Close to the seminar venue is also Sokos Hotel Vantaa, which offers more upscale rooms:
