A friend of mine visited Triforce and had a blast, apparently they're pretty fun guys and accepting of newcomers.

My friend is moving from Sendai to Tokyo in about a month, kinda sucks gonna miss him. But, he's been asking me for suggestions. Our teacher is a BB under Yuki Nakaii but he won't be living near Paraestra. I'm suggesting Axis

You're in Sendai? I was an exchange student there in high school, still in contact with my host family. I've always wanted to go back for a spell. Is there any good BJJ there?

I live a little north of Sendai. Soujiukai is under Iwabuchi he got his black belt from Nakaii Yuki.

There are also a few other gyms but I don't know too much about them.

If you ever come back hit me up with a PM!

I think this is one of the true pleasures of training in Japan, the people who train are so cool with everyone.

I'm not sure the name of his gym, but my friend Gen Isono is a John Machado black belt. I can ask him. He's very talented, and a super nice guy. I'd definitely check out the Kodokan.

Yup, for sure. Everywhere that I have been has been cool as hell.

I'm from the states but currently train at Evolve MMA in Singapore. I am relocating to Tokyo in September and have been weighing the various training options. I train with a few people that have experience training in Tokyo (both Japanese and gaijin). The consensus seems to be that Tri-Force and Paraestra are the best options in terms of student quality, instructor quality, scheduling and location (both have multiple locations and offer a package that would let you bounce between locations freely).

Where did you end up, if you don't mind me asking?

Also, I see the morning classes at paraestra shibuya start at 10:30, that's a little late. Does anyone know if any gyms have morning classes from around 7:00~9:00am?
