I know we've got a few UGers in Japan...
Thinking of eventually(long term here) taking a trip over there to kill two birds. My wife has always wanted to visit Kyoto and I'll be visiting my friends at Takeda forge in Kanegawa. Figure we'd spend about a week in each city.
Any good gyms worth checking out in either area? Always happy to get my ass whooped. Language barrier shouldn't be much of an issue. I'm like the white equivalent of Conseula on Family Guy with my Japanese. They laugh like hell but they get the drift.
