Visiting Japan
Hi everyone,
I'm fortunate enough to be working in Japan during June. I hope to turn it into an aikido holiday for two/three weeks and I'd love to hear any advice, experiences or thoughts you might have to offer for a first time visitor!
The following plans occurred to me as possible by writing ahead to the appropriate places:
i) Attend classes at the Aikikai hombu
ii) Visit each main school hombu, Iwama, the aiki shrine and...?
iii) Normal tourism with a class nearby to wherever
If any aikiweb members training in Japan would be able to recommend or extend an invitation to dojo for watching/training as appropriate for an English speaking, beginner in Aikikai (though I would love to see other styles) then I would be tremendously grateful.
Many thanks,
Duncan
