Peachtree Fam,

Just a quick note as we move closer to our dojo trip to ZIPANGU – just 12 weeks and counting!

The recommended itinerary (below) is meant to introduce some top activities including training at Hombu Dojo and Aikido Kyoto.

There is a LOT to do in Tokyo, so much that you don’t really need to stray further afield.

But there are lots of interesting day trips too, depending on how much ⏰ and 💰 you have to spend – Nikko and Fuji just examples.

If you’re interested and want any tips or resources, just ask!

Our group is already SO large that we will need to split up into groups of 2-4 people –

Any bigger groups can create logistical problems for getting around, dining, etc.

In short, we cannot herd cats.

But we will try to arrange one meal for the whole group – in Tokyo and in Kyoto.

Meantime, please review the itinerary and let me know if you have any questions.

And start practicing your Japanese!
