As you all know (well not all of you but I will say it anyhow),  every year since 2004 I have gone to Japan to train the martial arts.  Last year I managed to make it twice.  This said, I am trying to organize a group trip.  This will involve group rates for travel (I hope) and co-ordinates places to stay.  If you are interested let me know and I will put you on the list.  Usually you would plan to travel from 17-19 days and spend $4000 (as a safe estimate).  It is difficult training that much and getting used to the culture for some.  If you are coming and are trying to practice your Japanese, I do have resources to help.  Let me know and I will get you what you need.  From now until May I don&#8217;t expect anyone to be able to master the Japanese language, but ordering food and asking for directions are very important skills to have.<\/p>\n<p>I hope everyone had a good Christmas and a Safe and Happy New year.  I look forward to training with everyone in 2008.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/japanton.com\/images\/new-years.jpg\" title=\"kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegaishimasu\" alt=\"kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegaishimasu\" border=\"0\" height=\"26\" width=\"319\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just hammering out the final details of the May Japan trip.
