Hello everyone,
At the beginning of November I will be going on a lengthy holiday to Japan to visit some friends, see the sights, and generally do the touristy thing. While I am there I would be very interested in seeing any koryu enbu/demonstrations. First on my list is to see the large enbu at Meiji Jingu on November 3 (I insisted to my travel agent that I be there before that day) but after that I have no idea what else might be happening.
(I understand from the search archives that the Meiji Jingu enbu begins at 10:00 or 11:00am? Can anybody confirm this? The English language website does not specify and my Kanji skills are certainly not up to reading a webpage in Japanese)
I will be starting my holiday in Tokyo Nov 2-10, then Kyoto for a week or so (17th). After that I will be exploring the cities in the Osaka area for a couple weeks which brings us into December. From there I plan to head to Kyushu, with a short stopover in Hiroshima to see the bomb museums, among other things. I fly back home on December 12. Before that my dates are not set in stone and I can make side trips as needed.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Even suggestions that have nothing to do with enbu. I would also love to hear about good places or attractions that aren't in the tourist books if you have any.
Thanks muchly,
