| Trip to Japan part 4: The Group Travels South to Himeji |
 Our first weekend in Japan is approaching, just two days after our arrival. We have not yet gotten used to the Tokyoite environment but we already have to pack our stuff and in preparation to the trip that will take us south, to the historic cities of Himeji and Kyoto.
One thing worth noting when travelling to Japan in order to train at the Aikikai is that the registration only signs you up for classes during the week. If you wish to train at the weekends; you have to spend a few extra yen in order to attend the various classes proposed. It can be quite a pain for resident Aikidoka but for us tourists, it becomes a welcome opportunity to forget about training for a little while, recover from our little pains, strains and other injuries that several days of training inevitably provoked. More importantly, it is also the occasion to discover a bit more Tokyo and the rest of the country.
