Japan Aikido Friendship Seminar
 May 2-4 2010
Matsusaka, Mie Prefecture, 
Hosted by  Yoshitake Hashimoto sensei, Founder Junshinkai Aikido

Featuring Instructors
Master Koretoshi Maruyama Sensei, Founder Aikido Yuishinkai
Minoru Oshima Sensei, Founder Kodokai Aikido
Michael Williams Sensei, International Chief instructor Aikido Yuishinkai
Okajima Sensei, Osaka Chief instructor Aikido Yuishinkai

Seminar programme
Join a fabulous line up of senior instructors from Japan and around the world for three days of exploring aikido without boundaries and  building a bridge between Japan and Australia. 

Located in Matsusaka its only a short ferry ride (45min) across the bay from Nagoya airport and takes you back in time as you enter rural old stye Japan. A 3 day intensive aikido seminar will have you relaxing each night in the sento (traditional bath house) before enjoying traditional local foods. Enjoy top class training facilities on a umm.. 250 mat dojo on a sprung wooden floor. 

After the seminar we visit the Ise shrine (perhaps Japans most important shrine)  that is  well off the tourist track and rarely visited by westerners. Enjoy the atmosphere, traditional foods and crafts. Only a day later find yourself in Takayama lodging for two nights traditional style in traditional Japanese lodgings. For those time poor already a week (9 days)has gone by and its time to go home and back to work. 

Those with a little more time and cashed up can  stay on for fabulous Kyoto (the old capital), maybe koyasan and then hit the new capital Tokyo (which has the same number of people as Australia living in it) maybe staying at Andrew Sunters favourite hotel the Andon Ryokan and then head home the following Friday or stay longer and hump a backpack (for the independant travellers amongst you)
