Passing Through / Noda City / Yoshino

Our main reason for visiting Noda City was to do some training. Here we stand, hot and sweaty, with Grandmaster Hatsumi. From the left, Getan, Jean-Pierre, Kevin M., Jan, Richard, Joe, Masaaki Hatsumi, Kevin, Rumiko Hayes, Stephen K. Hayes, myself, and Chris.

We also took time to visit Atago Jinja in Noda City. This is the family shrine of Ninjutsu Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi. To the right is the calligraphy from the shrine.
To the right is a plaque and an omamori "protection" pouch from the shrine.

Two other views of the shrine, from the side and from the back.

Smaller shrines above. To the right is a Buddhist temple on the Atago Jinja grounds.
