Totally fab day meeting with Japanese members
in North East of Tokyo in Ibaraki Prefecture (about 3 hours drive)
First stop "Hitachi Memorial Park"
this is a 500 acres site for the ashes of deceased members
here is a small snapshot




In the restaurant in the Memorial Park where
we have lunch we had an incredible warm hearted welcome. We felt treasured. The members have prepared as if Sensei was coming.







It was a wonderful aesthetic luxury lunch. Feast your eyes and enjoy.....







Arriving at the exchange meeting "The little boy at the entrance was so sweet"

Stephanie sharing a very inspiring experience which she started with an introduction Shoko wrote in Japanese. It was much appreciated and broke the ice!






Here is a Banzai!Beautiful Japanese garden near the culture centre









Farewell Ibaraki!!









Impressions of the day overall?
