Where do you guys go when you come to Japan? Hachioji? Osaka? Okayama?

[Giles]

This time we spend time in Kojima, visiting the store, mills and workshops, A night or 2 in Tokyo and then a day or 2 in Hachioji.....;.

How long does it take to get to Japan now given all of the flight path disruptions?

[NomadCrow]

I used to live near Machida pre-covid (now I live in Okinawa) and would spend a lot of time in Tokyo. I really liked the SG Club near Shibuya. A very classy place to get a nice cocktail.

A few years ago my wife and I took a road trip and stopped in Kojima. Really love the atmosphere of that town. I’d like to retire somewhere near the Seto Inland Sea.

Will be looking at that bridge from our night time drinking area of choice over the next few days….

14 hours. It’s been the same since Trumps best mate thought he could take over Ukraine in a week end….

[RobeOfTheMagi]

You have to visit BLUE LUG in Tokyo for me!

@Giles looks like an ocean worthy Daredevil

[Brandrea]

Have a great trip and safe travels.

[Giles]

Not sure exactly what the deck is, @Bailey can tell you that. But it is a custom Haraki makeover by Bailey.

Me too! Since I came back from Japan some weeks ago we are more and more thinking about buying a house in Japan
