This Sunday, the 26 May. U.S. President Trump will visit Japan for three days.
Here is the itinerary of the visit.
25th of May, Air Force One will land on the Tokyo with the president and the First Lady then they will go to the Palace Hotel Tokyo straight away. Around that area, a drone is not allowed to be operated during the visit.
Next day, Both leaders play golf at Mobara Country Club in Chiba. Trump and Abe are known for the golf player, last time Abe visited Trump’s house, they rounded the course together. This is the Omotenashi for return. I think Abe is crushed on him. He put Trump on the Nobel Peace Prize this year. You are not listening to Fake news. The entire world realized how silly Trump is. But not Japan.
After the flattery golf, two of them head off to Ryogoku Arena where May’s Sumo tournament goes. 26th is the final day. So far, three wrestlers(Kakuryu, Totinoshin, and Asanoyama) are on the top list of the championship.
There are two issues, sumo association is seriously concerned. Can’t bring a tea for the security issue. The teapot can be dangerous. Traditionally, a tea-server comes to your place for offering tea. He wears a uniform, works for the place a long time. Harmless! He must be disappointed that not serving the tea for the big day.
Trump is known for martial arts fan. So, he will watch the match in the Arena seat called Masu Seki close to the field. There is the VIP seat apart from Arena above the Masu Seki. The other issue is, Trump sits on the chair, not the traditional cushion. Because the Japanese Government concerned Trump is not used to sit cross-legged.
Where is the dinner? President Obama visited Japan 2014, Abe invited him at the Sushi shop in Ginza. They drunk Sake together. Abe sometimes appears at Presidential interview with hungover. Often his “meeting” photo is leaked to the public. This time, they decided to go Yakiniku restaurant at Roppongi where American Ambassador locates on.
This is the first day of Trump’s visit Japan. More to come to until the last day. I’ll update you the rest of days next week. More important events are coming. Official discussion at parliament, visiting the new emperor and meeting the victims of kidnapping by North Korea. Stay tunes on my Podcast.
