The Aikikai Hombu Dojo 合気会本部道場

The Aikikai Hombu Dojo (合気会本部道場 Aikikai Honbu Dōjō?) is the headquarters of the Aikikai which is an umbrella organisation of various national, as well as smaller, aikido organisations.[citation needed] Although the name strictly refers only to the main training hall (dōjō), it is often used by extension to refer to the Aikikai organisation itself.[citation needed] The dōjō was founded by Morihei Ueshiba in 1931 under the name Kobukan.[citation needed] The current building, which stands on the same site as the original Kobukan, dates from 1967.

Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba was moved to establish a formal dōjō in Tokyo as a result of the increased following of his martial art. In April 1931, he established the Kobukan Dōjō (皇武館道場) in the Ushigome District of Shinjuku, Tokyo.[citation needed] The one-story, wooden structure served as the first permanent home of Aikido. The popularity of Aikido increased both overseas and domestically after World War II, which prompted the construction of a larger, modern structure.
The structure of the Kobukan Dōjō (called "Hombu Dōjō" after World War II) was torn down in 1967.[citation needed] The current Hombu dōjō was completed on 15 December 1967 and dedicated on 12 January 1968 in the same place as the older structure. The five-story dōjō includes three separate training areas totaling 250 tatami.
