Travel to Japan

Niko Niko Travel is a terrific travel agency located in San Francisco's Japantown. Their website is only in Japanese, but you can give them a call at: 1.707.554.3670.

Check out the following post for a good review of places to stay while training in Japan.

Azusa Ryokan in Noda has no website, but can be reached at: +81-4-7122-5761. Be prepared though, it is a family run business, and most of the employees speak either very little or no English. One need not speak fluently, but should at least be able to speak some Japanese.
