    I liked the explanations by the older silver-haired gentleman whose name I forgot. I also enjoyed the explanation of the different teas and different sweets.

    The dinner was lovely, the rotemburo was great, I really enjoyed the stone bath in our private rooms. Also, the beds was cozy, as was your tatami room.

    I really enjoyed the hands-on experience with the masks and drums, being told to go slowly, and being told not to touch the face of the masks; in order to preserve them.

    The sushi workshop was wonderful, sleeping in an antique Japanese house was great (there are too many houses with man-made materials - like plastic - in Japan) and I really liked having access to the local beers in single-serving brown glass bottles.

    I appreciated the mix of Mr.Ogura’s imperfect English with his young assistant’s more polished English. It gave the activity a charmingly engaging quality.

    I liked being on a traditional Japanese boat, on a moat, eating a Japanese obento.
