Hi Everyone,

I am planning on going to Japan for the World Shakuhachi Festival in late spring. While there I am hoping to visit Taigu & Jundo, temples in and around Kyoto as well as the in-laws in Tokyo & Hachinohe. Probably not having a lot of opportunities to travel to Japan, I thought I'd look into the possibility of having a small retreat. Maybe 3-5 days. I've contacted Antaiji and am discussing the particulars, however I was hoping to see if anyone from Treeleaf has ever practiced there and if they have any tips or suggestions? I am hoping that my shakuhachi sensei may have an interest in joining me as well.

If anyone has any experience or know of other's experiences I'd greatly appreciate the feedback.

Gassho,

Dokan
