One of the exciting things about Bujinkan training is traveling to Japan to join the Grandmaster and the masters as they continue to improve their skills and travel with them down the warrior path!
While any practitioner/member of the Bujinkan can travel to Japan, your experience will greatly be enhanced by the vast experience and connections already established by our group the "Pacific Northwest Bujinkan Dojo".
We are told that we are currently one of or the largest group from the USA currently by those in Japan with more than 20+ of us traveling to Japan sometimes twice each year.
We take our training in Japan seriously and it is the first and foremost priority, especially Soke (grandmaster) and Nagato Sensei classes.
However in addition to the awesome training that you will receive there, we often break up into smaller travel groups with leaders that can take you all over to see shrines, temples, palaces, historical sites, museums, Tokyo Disneyland, and of course the endless shopping that the area possesses!
Japan has its own culture.
Anyone traveling with us will be respectful of Japanese culture. All those planning to be a part of our group will refrain from disrespectful activities and behaviors. Etiquette will be taught prior to travel so that you are not "that" foreigner. The Japanese are very respectful and kind to us as foreigners and do not hold us up to their social norms. We, as their guests, understand this and attempt to minimally disrupt the harmony of their lives.
