As well as training hard they'll be visiting Enoeda Sensei's shrine to pay their respects. They've promises to send back regular updates which we'll be regularly posting right here.

Just been to pay our respects to Enoeda Sensei on behalf of everyone at the club. While there we bumped into Sensei Sawada’s son, wife and grandson (Chief Instructor JKA Belgium). They were happy to let us watch as they cleaned the headstone and lit incense.

After paying our respects to Enoeda Sensei we visited the Imperial Palace, the Yushukan War Museum and the Budokan... followed by an early dinner and back to our traditional traveller's inn, The Homeikan to watch the sun go down over Tokyo.
