The teacher Igor Dovezenski, together with his student Taki Gakovski, from the 11th to the 22nd of April visited the Homby of the Bujinkan Dojo in Noda (Japan) with the goal of improving their knowledge. 

During the visit, they trained together with the dai-shihan’s and the inheritors of the schools (soke) that are taught in Bujinkan, they met and trained with: Norio Sakasai, Isamu Shiraishi, Yukio Noguchi, Toshiro Nagato, Hiroshi Nagase, Wataru Tezuka and others. 

Unlike Dovezenski’s previous visits, when his time was exclusively dedicated to training with the teachers, this time he wished to let his student experience some of the Japanese culture and traditions for the first time. And so, in addition to the training sessions, they visited several different cities, japanese gardens, ancient temples, castles and other places connected to the samurai traditions.

During their visit they managed to spend some time talking to and visiting several Japanese teachers with which there was talk about future plans concerning Bujinkan Macedonia.
