It's official...ABD is going to Japan!

My TA just forwarded the following email update from ABD about my Japan itinerary:

The Junior Adventurer movie and dinner scheduled on Day 5 will now take place on the evening of Day 7 and include dinner and bowling at the Hilton Odawara Resort with the Adventure Guides.

On Day 9, the order of activities is being adjusted. Following the Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony, we will have a fun and informative sushi making class. After lunch, we will visit the Senso-Ji Temple in Asakusa before boarding a water bus for a cruise along the Sumida River with views of Tokyo's stunning skyline.

In addition, at beaches, public pools, onsens (hot springs), and gyms in Japan, it is common to see signs stating "No Tattoos." This includes the onsen experience at the Hotel Associa Takayama Resort. Due to prevailing cultural sentiments, guests with body art - no matter how small or discreet - will not be permitted to enter the onsen at the resort.
Is the Day 9 change the change you had, @WeLoveABD & @Mathmagicland?

At least they are finally formally informing folks about the tatoo issue.

I have been following along with your posts, and I am anxious to read your trip report once you get back. I am planning on going to Japan next year, probably solo and want to book the 2 nights at Disneyland as well. I hope you have a great time.

Yes-- and it made sense to have the sushi experience earlier as it rolled into the lunch hour. As for onsen--, I liked the experience, once I caught on to the procedures!

Thanks! I'll post what I can while I'm gone, but will post most of it once I return. I'll let you know how it goes!

Thanks! Looks like it's a permanent change now! I still haven't decided about the onsen yet. I figure I can decide when I get there! :)

@Cousin Orville it may be tricky to get reservations for 5. I would try calling if you continue to have a problem. There are people that speak English answering the phones. The word for English is Eigo (pronounced Eggo - like let go of my Eggo.).

If someone speaking Japanese answers the phone, I just say Eggo Han-Ah-See-Mas Kah? (all a's pronounced ah) Do you speak English? This has helped me many times. A useful phrase to know. If they don't speak English, they will find someone who does.

The Google Translate app is amazing. I was able to hear it pronounced first. When I tried to say it my first attempt was translated as "Do you speak smile" but eventually I got to where I could say it.
 
We just booked japan ABD in April 2020, and it seems only 7 signed up (of which our family is 5) so far. I know a long way out, but last year the trips booked up almost immediately. Anyone know why / any negative feedback from prior trips?
