Going to Japan

Hello fellow buyu and budoka! I'm going to train in Japan for the first time this year and I'm very excited. I've read a lot on other people's visits to Japan and I'm going with some guys who travel there regularly. I will be referring to their guidance a direction a lot, pretty much all the time I'm there. I'm very excited for this.



I am posting to get advice from those who have made the trip this year. Obviously I'd welcome any advice in general, but I feel like I am fairly well prepared for the trip itself, particularly traveling with these buyu. What I'd really like is to know what advice people have who have been there this year. I know that this year's theme is quite high level, so an advice for preparation for training with the Shihan and Soke would be helpful. Thanks
