Getting to Joensuu from abroad:
Perhaps the easiest way is to first fly to Helsinki-Vantaa international airport (HEL) and take a connecting flight to Joensuu airport (JOE). A train/bus or a rental car from Helsinki-Vantaa airport to Joensuu is also an option (takes about 4,5-5 hours).
Please note that the flight options to/from Joensuu are limited. A train from Helsinki-Vantaa airport is a good and affordable option (switch train at Tikkurila station).

Examination fee: 40 €
Registration fees to be paid upon passing the examination:
1st dan: 70 € (includes Wadōkai membership fee)
