JAPAN TOUR
We have organized a Japan tour. We will go to Japan from October 26 through
November 3, 2006. The cost is about $ 2,500.00 per person. We will go to
Kyoto, Minobu, Tokyo and Chiba.
Kyoto - We can enjoy the beautiful autumn colors in Kyoto. We will visit
some places noted in connection with Yamauchi Kazutoyo of 'Komyo ga tsuji'
broadcasting by KIKU TV now.
Minobusan - Minobusan Kuonji Temple, the mother temple of Nichiren Shu. We
will enjoy Onsen ( hot spring ) there too.
Tokyo - the capital of Japan. We will visit famous places.
Chiba - This is the highlight of the tour. We will go to Nakayama Hokekyoji
Temple. The Temple has been keeping a lot of Nichiren Shonin's handwriting
documents over 700 years. Those are exhibited once a year on November 3rd,
every year. We can meet Nichiren Shonin through his own writings.
This tour has a lot of not only sightseeing but also shopping time. If you
want to go to Korea, we can arrange it as an optional tour. For more
information, please feel free to ask the ministers.
E-MAIL ADDRESS HAS BEEN CHANGED
