Wow, sounds like it should be a great place! I am currently planning on spending the ENTIRE day there, so I should have a good amount of time.
Hopefully I will get to see the taiko as I am a drummer and I love world percussion. I have only seen Japanese dancing once before, but it would be very nice to see it again.
I will definetly check out the Japanese bonsai books. When you were there, did they take dollars or Yen?
