Hisa & Bruce visit Japan, Feb. '81


1. Nara 2/81
Half year after Akemi and I visited Hisa in October 1980, Hisa and his roommate Bruce visited Japan in February. They stayed with Hisa's parents while in Tokyo but when they came to Osaka, they stayed with me. Akemi joined us from Tokyo on some of the sightseeing to Nara and Kyoto.
