''Ometenashi'' and ''Omatsuri'' , a promise of the most special of Japanese welcomes & experiences.

'Omotenashi' is all about offering the best service without the expectation of a reward. 
'Omatsuri' is the Japanese concept of festival, deeply bedded in their culture, from a traditional community celebration giving thanks for a rich harvest, good health, community harmony and respect for their ancestors.

Pubs and bars to visit while in Tokyo.

I will update this list all the time.

To start with, I have a reciprocal arrangement with one of the most popular Irish Pubs in Tokyo. It is called  'An Solas' and it is the only IRISH OWNED Pub in Tokyo. There will probably be some good sessions there around the time of the RWC.          https://www.facebook.com/AnSolasIrishPub/

Will work on developing these blog pages at quicker pace now

I have just begun networking this blog page with other Irish Rugby Blogs. Therefore I can expect to get more traction with visitors to it very soon. If you have just landed on this blog from one of those other blog's links, don't be disappointed, I will be developing those unfilled pages quite steadily now over the next month or two, now that I have nearly finished making all my own reservations.
