As of this moment, 20 Feb thru 5 Mar 2023, will be staying in Osaka, Fukuoka & Nagoya, it'll be my 19th time to Japan, a quick question, I saw your post on facebook on Kumamoto Castle, is the Honmaru Goten still in good shape? I'm 4th generation Kumamoto Ken, from Hawaii, I visited there at least 7 times, but haven't heard on the condition of the Palace
Great article, I have your book, on the subject of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the 2023 NHK Taiga Drama, "Dousuru Ieyasu" would you happen to know which city the big display will be in? I am guessing several cities will be having something on his life, any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated, I know its usually listed in the guidebook that NHK releases in Mid December, but I am planning a trip to Japan & would be helpful if I knew in advance, thanks again

It wasn't open when I was there two days ago... I'll check on it for you.
Thanks, my wife will pick up the guide for me while she's in Seattle next month, was planning to go there anyway so it'll be convenient for me
let me know when you're coming!
