We are deeply saddened by the Earthquake that attacked Japan on 11th Friday.

We offer our deepest condolences to the people that lost their families in this disaster.

Iwama was also attacked by the Earthquake but we are fully recovered.

All of the Saito family and Uchideshi are safe and well.

We will continue our prayers for the safety of the ones that are still not found.

To the people who are scheduled to visit Iwama:

We have been recently told that the transportation (train) to Iwama is currently not running.

However, the train is running from Narita Airport to Toride but from Toride to Iwama is very unstable.

We will continue to post information about the status of the train schedule but for now,

please contact Kenny Sembokuya for further information.
