        Special tomato ramen lunch, at a ramen joint called… "Tomato"!

        Giles was very tired - not surprisingly - long days, 8-hour time difference and late nights do take their toll, and we're not as young as we used to be!  😞

                      This is quite the daring, ambitious and downright wonderful idea. I love it.

                        With appropriate timing and sufficient advance notice, I have no doubt I could get Julie onboard for this.

                              Depending on the timing, this is a trek I’ve always wanted to take! Marcia and I may have to wait a few years, though, as she’s loathe to travel internationally until her next green card is issued. (We’ve only been waiting ~2 years [emoji849])

                                  Sounds like a brilliant idea.  I would try to come as well.

                                    I would definitely be in for that, with advance notice.  And great shots of this trip, including the Kanreki surprise.

                                      It's close enough that I may be able to swing something with enough notice as well. Some of the flights are super cheap…I've done a weekend there before..why not!

                                        We should make it happen!

                                        Is spring 2019 (April or possibly May) too soon?  The big unknown is when the supplier shows will take place, and that does dictate when our retailers, and therefore IHUK, need to be in town.

                                        We could ask Haraki san to kindly host a day at Hachioji, as well as doing some "strategic" (read drinking and eating) gatherings in Tokyo.

                                        Do let me have your input, and we'll work towards setting some dates so that folks can investigate travel.

                                        Just arriving at Haneda, leaving Japan today  😞 - what better time to start planning another visit?  😉

                                            I think we probably would not make this just a weekend trip but a longer stay.
                                            With advanced notice we have no constraints. Q2 2019 and later would be great.
