I did not have much interaction with Hisao when I was there, but I did enjoy the private room. Breakfast provided by Hisao's wife were really great. Communication beforehand was sparse, but everything that need to be communicated was fine. Even though there was a language barrier, each of us was able to commmunicate adequately. I had wanted to practice Kendo at his dojo, but unfortunately I did not have the time. Hopefully if I make my way back I'll need to do this.
